But this Thanksgiving each task is interrupted by calamity and hilarity: first the turkey slips away . . . then the bakery is sold out . . . and so on, until Uncle Fritz and Grandfather Tappleton despair of ever eating dinner at all It's not until Grandmother Tappleton reminds everyone, There is more to Thanksgiving than a turkey and trimmings, that the Tappletons begin to improvise . . . and end up enjoying a most unusual holiday feast. Delicious art adds to the merriment of this warm, contemporary tale whose mirth and message readers of all ages will savor. |
