5.0 out of 5 stars A Holiday Favorite!, April 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cranberry Thanksgiving (Paperback)

I remember my father buying this book for me sometime in the early '70's. I loved Mr. Whiskers from the very beginning. It was one of my first lessons that there is more to a person than meets the eye. And I was fascinated by the "secret" recipie- I still make it for holiday parties, and everyone loves it! I'm looking forward to holiday time and sharing it once again with my nephew!

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of a Thanksgiving tradition, December 29, 2002

By	Amy G. Rogers "lomga" (Venetia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cranberry Thanksgiving (Paperback)

It's an exceptional book that can give rise to a family tradition. The story of "Cranberry Thanksgiving" centers around Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread, and the recipe for the bread is on the back cover of the book. My mom and I read the book and made the bread for the first time when I was 4 years old, and 32 years later the tradition is still going strong. I still enjoy going to the bookshelf in the weeks before Thanksgiving to find this book and bake the bread.

The book's story is engaging, the illustrations are lovely, and the characters are memorable - who could forget wild Mr. Whiskers or snooty Mr. Horace? There's even a moral for those who like morals - don't judge a book by its cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars when i was in the 3rd grade, October 31, 2000

By	"kalynnr" (cincinnati, ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cranberry Thanksgiving (School & Library Binding)

when i was in the third grade, my teacher mrs. higgenbotham read us this book, and then we made the cranberry bread in class- i thought that it was the greatest thing back then, even though everyone hated the cranberries! i am so excited to have found this book again and cannot wait to share it with my stepsister who is in the 3rd grade this year- im sure she'll hate the cranberries as well, but im also sure she'll love the book-
