There is a map on the inside covers of the book that you can use to chart the characters' journey. Great way to teach map reading/spacial representations of larger things.

The Perfect Seat is perfectly adorable and sweet! My sons (7&9) especially loved the map in the end pages! Daddy and son moose are looking for the perfect seat to read a book and can’t find the right spot until the end! Loved this book!

A cute story with few words that would be ideal for kids 2-4ish years old. The moose adult and child are very cute and the illustrations whimsical.

A book of opposites and about wanting parental perfection but enjoying time spent with children, especially when reading. I also love the short sentences which make it easy for children to follow and learn.

We all want just the perfect place to read a story. But as this picture book depicts, it's a big ordeal--filled with opposites.

Short, sweet and super cute! The Perfect Seat would appeal, I think, to both of my nephews – one is 4 1/2 and the other is 2. The brevity of each page’s text is ideal for squirmy kiddos with a small attention span; but the adorable & whimsical illustrations elevate the text even further to hold the attention of slightly older siblings and parents. Charming book! Would be a great Christmas gift for pre-K – Kindergarten age children.

(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book)

Super cute!! Few words, but sweet message for a beginning of the school year read aloud. All about finding that perfect spot for reading. Subtle themes of perseverance and not giving up on a deeper read. Love seeing a dad and his kid trying to find just the right spot to sit and read together. Much to see on the endpaper maps, and I love when a picture book story starts before the title page.
