Pearl (a dog) and Squirrel (self-explanatory) live "inside a box beside the old corner store." After hot-dog vendor Stan tells them about Thanksgiving, they note things they're thankful for (playing fetch, a cuddly nap spot), and then are not-so-thankful for a storm--but it all ends with a generous act that gives them a big reason to be thankful. This sweet story, with inviting cartoon illustrations in an autumnal palette, can serve as a seasonally appropriate discussion starter about giving thanks and helping others.
