I Am Not a Chair!
I Am Not a Chair! | Ross Burach
5 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
Grab the best seat in the house with this funny, touching picture book about a giraffe who keeps being mistaken for a chair! From the acclaimed author-illustrator of Theres a Giraffe in My Soup, Ross Burach, comes a curious tale about finding ones courage and standing up for oneself. Full of vibrant and playful illustrations and hilariously absurd logic, kids will want to read it again and again. Could there be anything worse for Giraffe? Maybe being sat on by a skunk or smooshed by two hapless hippos, or worst of allcornered by a hungry lion? No one seems to notice that Giraffe is not standing around just to be sat upon. Will he be able to find his voice and make his friends realize who he really is?

Yes!

I love when I find the book that my Kindergarten class wants to hear over and over again, (and that I don‘t mind reading over and over!), and this is the one!

I Am Not a Chair! is a very funny story about a giraffe who continues to be mistaken for a chair by other animals. A fantastic read-aloud, and also makes for a great sequencing book.

Really cute and bright illustrations throughout!

MelKelsey Thanks for sharing! I'm also a Kindergarten teacher, and I've never heard of this book! 5y

I Am Not A Chair (F, SSYRA) by Ross Burach is such a cute story. I love the hidden message behind the simple concept: I am not a chair! This is ideal for a RT as well as a RA! It‘s perfect to use in K-2! UDL 3.2 Highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships. EL Strategy 3 Encourage self-talk (positive thinking).

This F story is the hilarious tale of a giraffe who keeps being mistaken for a chair. The illustrations are adorable and will definitely have students giggling. There is a cute surprise at the end of the story too! For a fun after reading activity you can go here: https://goo.gl/tzgNLk #UCFLAE3414SU17

DrSpalding This sounds like it may be a good candidate for storytelling. What do you think?❤️📚 7y
Ashleywwolfe I agree with @DrSpalding - either a storytelling or even a a readers theater would be awesome for a class with this text! 7y

One of the few books I've read for story time that have actually made the kids laugh out loud. I usually read 3-4 books I think are fun, but this one got the best reaction. 👍😊

This is such a funny book! Giraffe is so excited to meet new animal friends, but the problem is they think he's a chair! He's constantly getting sat in by someone. Will he finally get to be himself? The illustrations are bright, the book is funny, and that last page turn is GREAT! Check this one out! #kidlitsy #picturebooks
