The Thanksgiving Bowl

32 pp. | Pelican | August, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58980-365-7 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Philomena O'Neill. Everyone puts a list of things they're thankful for into Grandma's plastic Thanksgiving bowl. The bowl gets left outside and is carried off by the wind. The telling is awkward and the bowl-as-main-character premise doesn't sustain interest. Seasonal illustrations depicting the bowl's travels and uses (a snowman's hat, a goose's nest) before it reappears at Grandma's--in time for Thanksgiving--are nicely varied.
