Hysterical and touching story of a family's Thanksgiving,
By DTru_Rivvy (Riverside, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thanksgiving at the Tappletons' (Library Binding)
Eileen Spinelli's Thanksgiving at the Tappletons' is a picture book suitable for reading aloud with older kids. A simple reminder of the true meaning of Thanksgiving is brought to light after a series of mishaps that any busy, modern family can identify with. Spinelli's humor and gentle touch is evident in this story, as it is in her Valentines' Day story, Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch. Both books are great for storytimes, home and classroom libraries.

What happened to the people?,

This review is from: Thanksgiving at the Tappletons' (reillustrated edition) (Paperback)
I adore this holiday book. It keeps the kids interested with humor and teaches the true meaning of the holidays... which we tend to be too busy trying to make everything right to remember. It's truly charming, but what happened to the people? I liked that it was a story about a family that we can relate to rather than a group of wolves. I was going to buy this book for my younger brother who is student teaching, but I think I'll hold out until I can find an older copy that still has people inside.

This review is from: Thanksgiving at the Tappletons' (Hardcover)
We have had this book for two years. Today at nap time I asked my daughter (5 yrs) to choose a book for me to read that her brother (3 yrs) would enjoy as well. She went up to the playroom and returned with "...the Tappletons". We laughed and decided to send it to a few friends.
