A sweet, whimsical tale that chronicles the journey of a chair as it changes hands and uses. Perfect for fans of The Good Little BookSomething for Nothing and Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House.

Boo's favorite chair is little and blue. He sits in it, reads in it and makes a tent around it...until the day he grows too big for it. His mother puts the little blue chair out on the lawn where a truck driver picks it up. The truck driver sells it to a lady in a junk store where it sits for many years until it's sold and put to use as a plant stand. In the years that follow, the little blue chair is used in many other ways -- on an elephant ride, in a contest, on a Ferris wheel, in a tree...until the day it flies away, borne aloft by balloons, and lands in a garden of daffodils where a familiar face finds it.

A charming, beautifully illustrated read-aloud that follows the adventures of a little chair, beginning as the seat of a small child who loves books and circling back to that child's child many years (and bottoms) later.

PRAISE FOR Mr. Zinger's Hat: "Fagan's dialogue moves smartly." --Publishers Weekly "Every child needs a Mr. Zinger -- and his hat! -- in his or her life....This book oh-so-softly brings across a sweet multigenerational message about sharing the power of imagination." --Booklist "A thoroughly engaging addition to the shelf of stories about story making." --Kirkus Reviews
