When Harry and his little sister Emily hear the story of the first Thanksgiving, they decide to share their own food with some hungry squirrel, bird, and chipmunk neighbors. Ruelle's minimalist watercolors give this beginning reader an unusually fresh look, and the combination of the appeal of the helping-animals theme and the humor in Emily's anti-pumpkin-pie campaign is a winning one.
