Abby's Chairs

32 pp. | Eerdmans | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8028-5205-X $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Debrah Santini. A woman named Abby moves to a new house in a new town and can't figure out why her beloved chairs suddenly look so odd. It's only when she fills them with new friends that she realizes what was amiss. Warm, expressive watercolor illustrations lend some appeal to a sweet moral tale, but the all-adult cast and nature of the metaphor will limit child appeal.
Reviewer: Amy Lois Cohn
