My Chair by Betsy James, illustrated by Mary Newell DePalma

This is an excellent book for teaching about both diversity and imagination. A collection of children are shown using a wide variety of chairs--each chair means something special to that child. DePalma does a fantastic job showing what each child imagines their chair to be as well as showing what the chair actually is.

This would be a good book to use when trying to get kids to quiet down, have them imagine what their chair is in their minds.

This book would be good with children 4-8 years old.

Highly recommended.
