A book of opposites and about wanting parental perfection but enjoying time spent with children, especially when reading. I also love the short sentences which make it easy for children to follow and learn.

We all want just the perfect place to read a story. But as this picture book depicts, it's a big ordeal--filled with opposites.

Short, sweet and super cute! The Perfect Seat would appeal, I think, to both of my nephews – one is 4 1/2 and the other is 2. The brevity of each page’s text is ideal for squirmy kiddos with a small attention span; but the adorable & whimsical illustrations elevate the text even further to hold the attention of slightly older siblings and parents. Charming book! Would be a great Christmas gift for pre-K – Kindergarten age children.

Super cute!! Few words, but sweet message for a beginning of the school year read aloud. All about finding that perfect spot for reading. Subtle themes of perseverance and not giving up on a deeper read. Love seeing a dad and his kid trying to find just the right spot to sit and read together. Much to see on the endpaper maps, and I love when a picture book story starts before the title page.

Absolutely adorable. Two friends set out to find "the perfect seat" to read a book together.

Upon leaving a bookshop, a young moose asks his dad if he'll read his new book to him. His response - of course! But first they have to find the perfect spot to sit. A bicycle? Too rough. A subway? Too crowded. What about a tree? Too tall. The duo tests out tons of spots, but none of them are perfect...until the dad plops down in the grass and creates the best seat of all. This is a cute read aloud for younger grades when teaching about reading habits and/or adjectives. Adults will see the resolution coming from a mile away, but that doesn't detract from the delightful story. The hand-lettered text and mixed media illustrations add to the book's charm.
