Review:

Giving thanks for good food and friendship is always a good idea even if your thoughts of good food differ just a little bit from your friend’s idea of good food.

Hippo and Duck are great friends. Hippo is very disciplined, and Duck is very care-free. They are both very respectful of each other. They decide to celebrate Thanksgiving together and when they go shopping for the big day they run into Elephant, Turtle and Duck. They invited them to share Thanksgiving Day too. Hippo could hardly wait for a good old-fashioned Thanksgiving meal. On the day he baked apple and pumpkin pie and prepared acorn squash. It was getting late, his friends had not yet arrived. Do you think they forgot, or do you think they will arrive with a big surprise?




Author Jonathan London has shared a great story of friendship and sharing. Young readers will find delightful and lively illustrations along with basic sentence structure that will help beginner readers sound out words and read this story with ease. Parents, teachers and caregivers can use this as a read-a-loud tool to discuss the Thanksgiving holiday and what types of foods are their favorites.
