review 1: This humorous Thanksgiving book is about several calamities that befall members of the Tappleton family, who are responsible for different courses for Thanksgiving dinner. The colorful illustrations by Maryann Cocca-Leffler really work with the Eileen Spinelli's story. While this book could be a great tool for teaching children about adaptability, the story line falls short because none of the family members take responsibility for their losses when they occur and as a result the family has no food for dinner. Despite this serious flaw in the story, I still recommend the book.
review 2: In my book, the illustrations are different: the family is represented by foxes. Other than that, I think they are the same. Each member of the family flubs up the food the a... morere supposed to prepare for the Thanksgiving dinner, and they are left with no dinner. They end up eating sandwiches and applesauce and remember that the best part of Thanksgiving is togetherness. Awwwwwwww!I don't think my son really liked this book, perhaps he is still a little young for it.Update: Well, last night my son asked me to read this book again, so I guess he did like it. I think it depends on his mood. less
