Overview

Peter has a new baby sister, and everything is changing. His old cradle is painted pink for the baby; his high chair is painted pink for the baby; next his beloved little chair is going to be painted pink—for the baby. Peter can't stand it! He takes his chair, his dog, and his own baby picture, and he runs away (but he doesn't run too far). Now available in Spanish, this timeless story is the perfect book for any child adjusting to being a big brother or sister.

"A more charming or contemporary child than Peter-is hard to bring to mind." —Library Journal

Synopsis

Peter's Chair (Spanish Edition)

Pedro doesn't understand all of the attention his new little sister is getting--or why she's getting all of his old baby things.

"Carefully translated, reflecting the distinct emotions of Pedro...Keats's illustrations perfectly capture Pedro's expressions."--The Horn Book

Praise for Peter's Chair:

"A more charming or contemporary child than Peter...is hard to bring to mind."--Library Journal
