Kimmelman, Leslie

Round the Turkey: A Grateful Thanksgiving

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-7131-8 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Cote. Twenty members of Jesse's family (including the dog) take turns giving thanks in rhyme around the Thanksgiving table. What could be a series of banal, sentimental platitudes prove interesting due to Kimmelman's thoughtful characterizations and willingness to acknowledge life's intricacies (e.g., divorce and adoption). The illustrations have an unpolished, cartoony quality but capture the affectionate mood.
