Thanksgiving at the Tappletons'

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Megan Lloyd. After various family members reveal why his or her dish isn't prepared for Thanksgiving dinner, the Tappletons quickly pull a meal together from whatever they can find in the kitchen: liverwurst, cheese, pickles, and applesauce. In the end, they realize Thanksgiving isn't about the food but about being grateful for what they have--one another. Lloyd's new illustrations lend humor to the pointed story.
