Description

This fairytale tells of a young, fair-faced girl named sunflower who lived with her wonderful, yet very poor grandmother. Sunflower's grandmother was always telling her about amazing stories and adventures. She wondered how her grandmother could have had so much excitement in her life. One day, her grandmother told her about her magical chair before she embarked on a trip. Not only could this wooden, wheeled chair talk, but it could also take someone on an adventure, as long as the wheels were regularly oiled. When her grandmother didn't come home one day, she set out to find her using the magical, travelling chair. While she was on her journey, Sunflower discovered many things about the kingdom and listened to several stories from the chair. This book tells of Sunflower's quest to find her grandmother, the outcome of her learned experiences, and all that happened in the midst. 109 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna

Publisher's Description of Wonderful Chair
The Wonderful Chair offers a collection of fairy tales within a fairy tale. Snowflower lives in an enchanted world full of fairies, amazing stories, kings and queens, and princes and princesses. When her grandmother leaves her with an enchanted chair, Snowflower goes on an adventure and her grandmother's wonderful chair shares seven stories with a grand king and his court—stories of talking birds, enchanted lords, merpeople, fairy folk, and more!

We personally own a lot of these books. Many of them are among our children's all-time favorites. That's saying a lot, since my children are voracious readers. There's such variety in this line - they run the gamut from biography to fantasy, but consistently enrich. It is indisputable that every book you read becomes a little part of you. Knowing this, we want to be careful not to fill our children's heads and hearts with objectionable, disturbing or useless material. Many of our customers are Christian homeschoolers, as we are. Even among this group, parents differ in the degree of restriction or criteria they apply in selecting materials they consider appropriate for their children, depending upon their particular convictions in this area. However, we feel confident that even the most convicted parent would have no qualms about this thoroughly Christian series. While books in the Light Line have a "strong Christian message," they are not "preachy." Rather, they skillfully entertain while presenting that message, with vivid characters and strong, exciting story lines. The biographies are among the best my children have read - they have been particularly stirred by With Daring Faith, the story of missionary Amy Carmichael. Series are listed first in each section, followed by single books listed alphabetically.
