In this offbeat, humorous story, Mrs. Piccolo's moody chair develops "a sudden craving for cheese puffs." It follows her to the store, swallowing up several people who annoy it along the way. Fortunately, the chair burps them out again, and Mrs. Piccolo invites everyone in for a snack. The vivid acrylic illustrations lend personality to the characters, including the voluminous pink chair.
