My Review:
I completely fell in love with this story. Isaac is a boy who is so excited to eat his Thanksgiving meal. I love that the story begins with telling readers that it is important to take pictures for mom and help dad around the house. I also loved that in the story, Isaac says hello to every visitor, and shakes hands with every person. Then it is off to the main event! The meal!
Readers will love the rhyming text that describes all the delicious food that Isacc is preparing to eat. The illustrations are fun and show readers diagrams of each part of the plan. This is a great read-aloud for the Thanksgiving Season.
