5.0 out of 5 stars Ahh, Thanksgiving..., November 23, 1998

By A Customer

It's Thanksgiving again, and time for the Pumpkin Contest!!! Papa is determined to beat Farmer Ben with his "Giant" pumpkin, although Thanksgiving isn't about contests, prizes, movies, TV specials, parades, etc.

After hearing about Ben's "Monster" pumpkin, Papa and the cubs go spying on it, but Ben catches them in the act, thinking they're "prowlers in the pumpkin feild!", so they don't get a chance of seeing it.

Papa loses again (I think Ben cheated!), until Mama tells him about the spirit of Thanksgiving. Where's the jazz about the Pilgrims and the Native Americans!?

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Holiday story, November 1, 2006

Be sure not to pass this book up when looking for Thanksgiving books to read to your children. In the classic Berenstain bears style, the cubs learn to be thankful after trying to win a pumpkin contest. They learn quite quickly to be thankful for what they have instead of trying to outdo the next guy and be the best at everything. Even Papa learns a lesson in this one. It's quite cute and a real favorite in our house. Highly recommend!
