The Memory Cupboard: A Thanksgiving Story

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-5055-8 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ben F. Stahl & Ben F. Stahl. Wanting to help clear the Thanksgiving table, Katie accidentally breaks an antique gravy boat. Katie is horrified, but Grandma shows her a cupboard filled with old broken toys, clocks, and dishes, each with a "story to tell"--her memory cupboard. "Things are just things," she tells Katie. Realistic, though slightly stiff, paintings complement the story in which love matters more than objects.
