Source of chair?

I was recommending books to a new grandmother and thought of a few more you and your kids might enjoy:
* Charlie Parker Played be bop by Chris Raschka
* Rrralph by Lois Ehlert (I need to buy this in case it goes out of print and I have grandchildren)
* Sheep in a Jeep and the sequel Sheep on a Ship by Nancy Shaw
* The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler (and basically all their other books)
* Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type and the other books in the series by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin
* Books by Robert Munsch and Michael Marchenko, especially Mortime and More Pies and Moira’s Birthday Party (the Munschworks Ultimate Treasury is my default baby gift and has The Paper Bag Princess • The Fire Station • I Have to Go! • David’s Father • Thomas’ Snowsuit • Pigs • Mortimer • Purple, Green and Yellow • Murmel, Murmel, Murmel • Something Good • Stephanie’s Ponytail • Angela’s Airplane • Jonathan Cleaned Up—Then He Heard a Sound • Show and Tell • A Promise is a Promise (with Michael Kusugak, illustrated by Vladyana Langer Krykorka))
* Also illustrated by Michael Marchenko, the Matthew and the Midnight x series by Allen Morgan
* Nothing Ever Happens on My Block by Ellen Raskin (out of print, we have my childhood copy)
* The Cow Who Climbed a Tree by Gemma Marino
* Stanley’s Party by Linda Bailey and Bill Slavin (I think there’s a sequel or maybe two, and it is also a good companion read with Munsch’s Moira’s Birthday Party and Sandra Boynton’s Birthday Monsters — I’m assuming you already have But Not the Hippopotamus and other books by her)
* Frederick by Leo Lionni
* Cinnamon Baby by Nicola Winstanley and Janice Nadeau (the power of baking consoles sad baby, mum is white and dad is Black)
* The Mysterious Tadpole and Ralph’s Secret Weapon and the Pinkerton books by Steven Kellogg (possibly out of print, ours are used copies)
* Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems
* Cinder Edna by Ellen Jackson

Seconding this recommendation!

From what you’ve shared of your family I think you’d also enjoy:
– the Madame Pamplemousse series by Rupert Kingfisher
– Where You Came From/When You Were Small/When I Was Small and other books illustrated by Julie Morstad
– the Mrs Armitage books by Quentin Crisp
– the Wicked Big Toddlah and The Wicked Big Toddlah Goes to New York by Kevin Hawkes
– Hattie and the Fox by Mem Fox
– the Mysterious Benedict Society series

My older son went through a major Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood phase and we all enjoyed these alternate versions:
– Lon Po Po by Ed Young
– Ninja Red Riding Hood (and other stories by Corey Rosen Schwartz)
– Yeh Shen also by Ed Young
– the Irish Cinderlad by Shirley Clinic

Which reminds me even though we have no Irish connections we all loved:
– The Hounds of the Morrigan by Pat O’Shea (for 9-12 year olds I’d say)
– Finn McCool and the Great Fish by Eve Bunting
– O’Sullivan Stew by Hudson Talbott

When your kids are a bit older:
– the Underland series by Suzanne Collins
– anything by Andrew Clemens (his elementary/middle grade school-based stories are really good for having conflict between people who are essentially good)
– the Mo&Dale Mystery series by Sheila Turnage
– anything by Neal Shusterman but especially the Tesla’s attic series and the Everlost series
– the Simon Snow series by Rainbow Rowell (more for teens though my 10 year old liked them)
– the Amari and the Night Brothers series (we’ve only read the first book but I’m confident it will hold up)

Hi! I started by collecting series I read as a kid (like American Girls and Goosebumps) and it evolved from there. Have fun!

Hi there! We actually did not plan to integrate it into the wall or remove the legs. Those were both pivots I had to make to make it fit into the space (from every direction). I added the wallpaper to my plan to make it flow more nicely and be be less noticeable and it helped a lot.
