" Reread this with my friend's son, who wants a baby sister to play with, I thought it might change his mind, LOL, This book was about a boy who started to realize that everything he had as a young boy, his parents started to give it to his new baby born sister.
He was not happy about this because they painted everything he had pink for his sister, He seen one last thing that was still blue which was his chair, so he thought about running away and taking his dog with him until he realized he couldnt fit in the chair anymore.


I like this book because it shows that everyone is attached to something no matter what it is, Even though he was he didnt want to give anything away he did what was best for his sister and painted the chair pink with his dad.


Teach students that you cant be selfish in this world, its better to give than to receive, With all the events of the last few months, I nearly overlooked the fact that this year is theth birthday anniversary of one of America's greatest children's authors: sitelinkEzra Jack Keats.
This book is one of the many of his that I read in my early elementary school days, This books plot is to show young kids with younger siblings that they will be required to pass on some of their baby items to them, Keats' stalwart protagonist, Peter, has to learn, this lesson concerning his infant sister, the story is simple enough but what stands out to me, as always, is the art, EJK's main strength was his illustrations and it is on full display here, His style reminds me of a postFrench impressionism maybe I am not an art expert,

Keats spent his whole presitelinkThe Snowy Day career as a illustrator for various things including the background for the goldenage era Fawcett/DC Comics title Captain Marvel.
Here is a reading of this story for anyone interested: sitelink youtube. com/watchvZuZhS As always I adore Mr, Keats artwork but I really love this story, as well, It's a sweet telling of a big brother having to adjust to a new sibling, Yep, Jen doesn't get children's books,

So the basic story is that Peter is mad about his parents taking all of his old furniture and painting it pink for his new baby sister in a displacedoldersibling kind of story, until at the end he and his dad repaint his chair together.
Leaving aside the annoying reinforcement of gender expectations that is painting all of a boy's things blue and a girl's pink because Authorial Time Period, I still don't understand the story.
I mean, I get the premiseolder child feels like younger child is taking over his house and his stuff and his life, check, But apparently after not fitting in the chair, he's fine with everything, What I get that this is short, but I don't feel like a child reading along with Peter's journey would understand why the sister is okay now.
The subtlety's too subtle, I think, And what's with the hiding behind the curtain thing That felt way disconnected,

The art is mixed media, which can be neat but here is sort of bleh, Also, some of the media is so intense the text is a little hard to read thinking especially of one page where the walls are plaid and the black text just gets lost in it.
The mixed visual textures gives kids more to look at, sure, but the adult needs to be able to see the sentences,

I am underwhelmed, I also wouldn't use this for kids trying to adjust to a new sibling it seems to tell them that since they physically can't use stuff anymore, they don't have a right to it, which isn't quite how emotional attachment works.
Peter's family is getting ready for a new baby, Peter feels a bit put out about his old baby furniture being used for the new arrival, Although Peter's parents weren't totally unsympathetic to his feelings I did think this one hasn't aged as well as the others, It would have been nice if Peter had been asked if the baby could use his old things and it seemed a bit stereotypical through todays eyes that the purple paint had to be replaced with pink because his sibling was a girl.


Read on open library, Not sure how I missed this, when I was working through Keats' book for university, I like how Peter is loved, but not coddled his parents don't make a great big fuss of 'now you're the big brother, ' So thanks to Little Free Libraries for passing on these treasures! Peter's life is different, now that he has a new sister, He cannot be as loud as he used to be, and all of his old things are being painted pink for his new sister! Eventually, Peter realizes he is too big for his chair and wants to help paint it for his new sister.


I really loved the simplicity of the text and illustrations, The text simply discussed Peter's story of him dealing with his new sister, and the illustrations focused on what was happening him playing with his dog or stealing his sister's chair.
The story was very sweet I loved that Peter realized on his own that his sister should have his old chair,

I see a connection between this book and A Chair For My Mother by Vera B, Williams. While the plots of the stories are vastly different, the commonality of the chair could spark an interesting discussion of what the chair means to the different characters and how the stories may appear similar in title but differ greatly beyond that.


" Not far away stood his old chair, "They didn't paint that yet!" Peter shouted, " This book is perfect. Charming paint, textured cut paper illustrations, charming relatable story, all the hallmarks of an Ezra Jack Keats experience, Peter's babyhood things are being coopted and painted for the arrival of his baby sister, To cope, he and his dachshund Willie 'run away' with his crocodile, snacks and a picture of him as a baby super charming until he's ready to come back and not be the baby of the house anymore and get excited for his sibling's arrival.
I want Peter's outfit and his dog but beyond that I want to live in the world of this book, full of love, colorful illustrations and a personal growth story for kids that isn't heavy handed or preachy.
Peter learns what it means to share with a new sibling in this book, I recommend it to any family with a second or third child just arriving, The older child will definitely benefit from this story, I love Ezra Jack Keats but running away because you're mad Not the message I want to encourage, I love Keats' illustrations in this one! It's a gentle story about a young boy who is jealous of his baby sister getting all his old baby things, until his old toddler's chair helps him realize an important truth.
Peter has a new baby sister, His cradle gets painted pink, His high chair gets painted pink, Even his crib gets painted pink, Peter doesn't want his chair painted so he grabs it and runs away, Runs away right outside of his house, that is, and is eventually coaxed home and offers to paint his chair,

While Peter does have a change of heart, I prefer introducing children to books with good attitudes and character to start with, so when they are in a similar situation, they know how to respond and there's no conflict over mimicry or their emotions.
This one does end on the moral high ground so still shows what the proper response to a new sibling should be,

As a parent, I thought this story was great, and emanated a very important message, The one thing that I did not like was that it wasn't very interactive for my daughter, It was really a story that just allowed her to listen and take it all in so she kind of just looked at the pictures as I went along, but the pictures was great.
That's another thing that I like about Keats' books, The pictures are always very colorful and vibrant,
I give itstars, This is simple and to the point and there is truth in the story, There is a new baby in the house and Peters dad is repainting all Peters old baby furniture pink for his sister, Peter doesnt like that, so he takes his baby chair outside to sulk, He realizes he no longer fits in it, He has a change of heart and then helps paint the chair with his Dad,

I was reading and it sounds like Ezra was using collage in his artwork with paint, All I know is that its beautiful, I just love the vibrant colors, I love reading an Ezra Jack Keats book,

The nephew really didnt care about painting furniture, He likes Willie, the dog, but he has outgrown these stories, sad to say, His mom is an artist and she loves Ezras work, She is the one who got me onto Ezra, Nephew gave thisstars. He wasnt impressed. Im trying to talk with him about the art, but he doesnt care, So it is. .
