Annie's chair is about a little girl who is really selfish with her chair.she literally does every single thing possible with sitting or standing in her chair. She doesn't want ANYONE to sit in her chair, not even her family. Well one day the dog, Benny sits in her chair. Annie's has a complete temper tantrum because anything she tries doesn't make Benny get up from her chair. So when she starts to cry Benny cries too. I think our pets feed off of our emotions. When we feel sad they feel sad show more also. It's mainly because they have a special connection with us and I think that is what Annie and Benny have. They made each other feel better in the end and Annie ended up sharing her chair with Benny. show less
Annie has had a favorite chair since she was young. She still has it and no one is allowed to sit in it. Not her mom, dad, brother, or dog. She keeps an eye on it to make sure. One day she finds Benny her do, in her chair. She screams at him to get up but he don't. She tickles him, rocks him, nothing works. Finally, she cries so Benny cries too and licks Annie. Then they sit in the chair together.
A fun story of a child who has claimed something as her own and does not want to share. By empathizing with family members, she learns to share and enjoy things away from her normal routine.

This story is about Annie and her chair of course. The chair has been here's every since she was little and NO ONE can sit in her chair. This story teaches kids that it polite to ask someone to do something even if they know you are doing it.
