The Perfect Thanksgiving by JoAnn Adinolfi, Eileen Spinelli
5.0
Book Review:
A hilarious, heartfelt story of how two very different families celebrate Thanksgiving. The Archer’s family celebration is prim and proper with a golden turkey, lace napkins and homemade pie; the main character’s is entirely different: Mom’s burnt the turkey, family members are burping, and the Jell-O mold is so wiggly it quivers to the floor.
Mini-Review:
A spirited tale of a child’s perception of family that ends with a timeless message of love. Adinolfi’s illustrations are full of spirit and the perfect complement to Spinelli’s lively text.
The story is a great introduction to how each family is unique and, despite their flaws, perfect in their own way.
