Annie love her chair so much that she wouldn't let anyone sit on it. Until one day her dog sit on it and she try all different method to get her dog to move. finally she cry and the dog finally move. Then Annie wanted to share the chair what the dog too.

This story is about Annie and her chair of course. The chair has been here's every since she was little and NO ONE can sit in her chair. This story teaches kids that it polite to ask someone to do something even if they know you are doing it.

The title alone grabbed me! But there's more: Susan Stephenson has a wonderful eye for great books. In her review at the Book Chook, she offers that the story has the added bonus of being an easy reader.
