As the family comes together to celebrate Thanksgiving, everyone gathered at the table offers up a poem about gratitude. An okay read, but not particularly memorable.

The twins enjoyed the rhyming nature of the book while mama enjoyed the different viewpoints. It allowed for small discussions before bedtime.

The first poem is nice as is the one about "old glory," but the rest are pretty awful.

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really fun unique Thanksgiving story. It takes the life of each family member w3ho is coming to Thanksgiving dinner and each Persons page in different prose or verse style. It isn't the same tempo or pattern

The one where they couldn't use "S" was one you will want to read over and over...because it is obnoxious! This would be a fun read aloud!
Pictures are good..ready to eat some turkey!!

Each member of the family gives thanks in their own poetic way for whatever they are thankful for. Nice piece of poetry.

Small poems told from various perspectives around the Thanksgiving table.
