5.0 out of 5 stars Funny remake.
This is a cute remake of the Over the River and through the woods story. I don't know that my kids get the humor as they are not familiar with the original but the drawings make me laugh every time.

1.0 out of 5 stars strange angry faces in illustration
I agree with other reviews that this book is a big fat disappointment. I wanted something lighthearted and fun but not ridiculous... well, unfortunately this book is not what I wanted. The facial expressions are too exaggerated and some are strangely angry.

5.0 out of 5 stars How Delightful to Have Derek Anderson illustrate a Thanksgiving Book!, November 18, 2005
This review is from: Over the River: A Turkey's Tale (Hardcover)
Derek Anderson is one of my favorite book illustrators, and how wonderful it is to see him illustrate this well-loved verse in a Thanksgiving book. I was lucky enough to see the illustrations months ago when Anderson did a signing at the Red Balloon in St. Paul, the Twin Cities leading children's bookstore. Anderson's whimsy brings the perfect touch to this tale. I also love a book about a Gorilla that he both wrote and illustrated, "Gladys Goes to Lunch" -- that's the one I was introduced to at the Red Balloon, where I bought multiple copies for kids on my gift list. A rare talent.

This review is from: Over the River: A Turkey's Tale (Hardcover)
Very cute: The traditional song, but the pictures show the turkeys point of view. My daughter teaches elementary music and her students love it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Different, November 25, 2009

The book was not what I envisioned it to be. I had expected more of a story line rather than just photos with a few words.
