Review: (Jule) A family’s annual travel to their grandparent’s house for Thanksgiving is captured within the pages of this enchanting book. The cold yet fun trip by horse-driven carriage ends in a warm and festive indoor family feast.
A stunning book of song with the feel of yesteryear. Beautiful matte pages with the slightest texture. Stately red endpapers. Exquisite artwork. Based on the author’s own memories of Thanksgiving at her Grandfather’s house near Mystic River in Medford, Massachusetts. An ideal picture book. ♥♥♥♥♥
Available at Barnes and Noble.

About
This blog was created to promote the love of picture books and reading aloud to children. The honest reviews will help you choose the books that are best for little readers and listeners. Regarding our reviews, our ratings are based on the book experience overall, but we look for good conflicts, unexpected endings and outstanding artwork. We are particularly fond of author/illustrators, stories with a bit of truth and books that are long enough to get comfortable with but not too long to read before bed. We prefer classic writing styles to contemporary language. Naturally, some books may be immune to our usual preferences. And since everyone appreciates something different, we encourage you to use the call-outs to the right of the titles to share your own comments. Sincerely, Jule and Tree
