Thanksgiving at the Tappletons'

Eileen Spinelli

The beloved Thanksgiving story by Eileen Spinelli with brand new art!

Thanksgiving at the Tappletons', is back with fresh and original artwork by Maryann Cocca-Leffler.

Thanksgiving is always a big day at the Tappletons'. But this Thanksgiving each task is interrupted by calamity and hilarity: first the turkey slips away . . . then the bakery is sold out . . . and so on, until Uncle Fritz and Grandfather Tappleton despair of ever eating dinner at all!

It's not until Grandmother Tappleton reminds everyone, "there is more to Thanksgiving than a turkey and trimmings," that the Tappletons begin to improvise . . . and end up enjoying a most unusual holiday "feast."

Delicious drawings add to the merriment of this warm, contemporary tale whose mirth and message youngsters will savor.
