Down the Back of the Chair Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Dad loses his car keys, little Mary suggests they might be down the back of the chair. Join in the fun as Dad begins the search, finding everything from a hairy string to a diamond ring—and much, much more! Could the solution to all the familys problems be down the back of the chair?

A lively rhyming text and quirky art come together in this visual explosion of fun and imagination.
