My two boys aged one and three love this book. My three year old enjoy the rhyming sound and the extraordinary story line, and my one year old love looking at the beautiful pictures and pointing at different things that pop out of "down the back of the chair".

This has got to be one of the most fantastic kids books out there. You can't help singing the catchy little story and it really keeps the kids attention

My little boys love this book. It has a rollicking rhyming story, great illustrations and a terrific ending.
It is the story of a family facing financial ruin, who go looking "down the back of the chair" for some pennies and find a host of treasures! Things you wouldn't believe!
