Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Silly Tilly's memory is playing tricks on her. It's Thanksgiving day and she "forgot to remember" that she planned to have dinner for all her friends. After a series of mishaps, she unwittingly distributes her recipe cards instead of the invitations. Tilly naps by the fire and awakens at dinner time realizing that no feast has been prepared, just as her friends arrive--each with a delicious dish in hand. Hoban's sprightly, colorful watercolors and endearing cast of animal characters make this simple story an easy - reading holiday treat. --Luann Toth, School Library Journal

About the Author

Lillian Hoban's books for children have been working magic for nearly thirty years. Her illustrations can help change an unfamiliar setting-like a museum filled with dinosaurs and whales-into a wondrous adventure, and her words and pictures together can transform chimpanzees and badgers into very real companions for the youngest reader.

Ms. Hoban was born and raised in Philadelphia. Among the first books she illustrated were the ever-popular "Frances" books, and several years later she wrote and illustrated Arthur's Christmas Cookies, thereby ushering in her beloved 'Arthur" series.

In 1967 Ms. Hoban was asked to illustrate Will I Have a Friend? by Miriam Cohen. It was the beginning of an enormously popular collaboration that produced more that a dozen books about Jim, Paul, Danny, Anna Maria, and the rest of the first-grade classcharacters as familiar to children as their own classmates.

Perhaps the key to the unfailing popularity of Ms. Hoban's stories and illustrations is that she's long been a keen observer of children, having had firsthand experience raising four of her own.

Lillian Hoban lives in Connecticut.
