Don't Let Auntie Mabel Bless the Table

(4) K-3 When a big multiracial family gathers for Sunday dinner, Auntie Mabel prays so long over the food that children fall asleep and the meal requires reheating. This is more an extended joke than a story. While none of the individual characters is particularly memorable, the lively illustrations give the large cast personality.
