This review is from: A Thanksgiving Turkey (Hardcover)
A boy and his mother go to live with his aging grandfather on their rural Virginia farm. The boy grows to love farm life and his relationship with his grandfather grows close as the year progresses. Life is simple and their farm life changes with the seasons. The family can barely afford to buy a turkey from a store for Thanksgiving (for $1.82). Grandfather has been trying to hunt the elusive tom turkey for years. Grandson accompanies Grandfather on numerous hunting trips without finding the elusive tom turkey. Finally before Thanksgiving the tom turkey makes his appearance and they are stunned to see how very old the tom turkey is (judging by the length of his beard). Before the boy can shoot, Grandfather intervenes to allow the old Tom to live, and they wonder if the Tom has lived in those woods for as long as Grandfather has. A wonderful tale with stunning watercolor painting illustrations. A must-own! |
