5.0 out of 5 stars
One of Ezra Jack Keats Best Books,
By Diaspora Chic "diaspora_chic" (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter's Chair (Picture Puffins) (Mass Market Paperback)
I don't know what ken32 is talking about but Peter's Chair has nothing to do with gender difference. It is about a boy, Peter, who is disgruntled at the change that is occuring around the house for his new baby sister Susie. Peter sees that his baby items are being painted over in pink, which is the color that will identify if the baby is going to be a girl. Babies don't care what color their furniture is.
But Peter feeling that everything he has is going to be given to his sister, takes his childhood chair and runs away from home. But he realizes that he isn't a little boy anymore. He is a boy but not a baby. He has to accept change in the household when a sibling is born. Peter is not seen as a spoiled brat. He just doesn't want to have to give in to Susie. Peter learns a valuable lesson and is willing to help his family any way he can. Ezra Jack Keats, rest in peace, is a good storyteller. His stories are centered around the urban areas. He doesn't paint a negative view of the city. He rather illustrates it as a community of supporting and close-knit citizens. His books dispel the media misconception of the dying city.

Pull Up a Chair,
By
This review is from: Peter's Chair (Picture Puffins) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a wonderful story with delightful illustrations about a young boy who is feeling displaced because he has a baby sister on the way. He is upset to see his old layette painted pink for baby Susie and his infant toys passed down to her.
The one thing that has escaped the fate of the pink paint is his old toddler chair. Peter stashes his chair away and later sets up a clever trap to fool everyone into thinking he is hiding behind the curtains. Peter tries to reclaim his old seat, but he has long outgrown it. Sadder, but wiser, he accepts his new sister and even gives her a prized gift. This is a wonderful classic!

I have 2 boys in 1st grade with little sisters. This book reflects the struggle that they go through in sharing things with younger siblings.
