The Perfect Thanksgiving

32 pp. | Holt | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6531-8 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by JoAnn Adinolfi. In Abigail Archer's family, Thanksgiving means homemade pies, impeccably behaved children, and playing chess for fun. The narrator's holiday is just the opposite, consisting of store-bought food and complete chaos. But as the amusing rhyming text makes clear, both families are loving. Stylized illustrations wittily portray the families' antics, often employing sophisticated tongue-in-cheek humor.
