Summary: A sweet story that you want to read many times over
Comment: I checked this book out of the library for my son (Kindergarten) and I to read. I'll bet we read it eight or ten times while we had it. We loved it so much we got a copy to keep at home.
It is the kind of a story that both the child and the adult reading it enjoy. I found that *I* looked forward to reading it! The characters, with the possible exception of Mr. Horace, were all people that you learned to like with the first reading. They were quite different from each other, but those differences almost made them more appealing.
The book is also given to a number of educational opportunities. For example, my son and I made the recipe for cranberry bread at the end of the book. (Actually, though, I don't think I would have stolen the recipe. To each his own!) There were several topics related to science that the book touched on that we could pursue -- so many that I'd expect we will read them and do some of those activities that we missed next year!
If you, as a parent, get tired of the run-of-the-mill children's books out there, try this one! You may find that you have to read it over and over again, but that's okay, because *you* will enjoy it, too!

Summary: The start of a Thanksgiving tradition
Comment: It's an exceptional book that can give rise to a family tradition. The story of "Cranberry Thanksgiving" centers around Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread, and the recipe for the bread is on the back cover of the book. My mom and I read the book and made the bread for the first time when I was 4 years old, and 32 years later the tradition is still going strong. I still enjoy going to the bookshelf in the weeks before Thanksgiving to find this book and bake the bread.
The book's story is engaging, the illustrations are lovely, and the characters are memorable - who could forget wild Mr. Whiskers or snooty Mr. Horace? There's even a moral for those who like morals - don't judge a book by its cover.

Summary: Charming, Charming, Charming!!!
Comment: Who cares if the silver spoons don't match, or if the red hall carpet is worn and mended?!!!
Thanksgiving is here and it's time for grandmother's famous cranberry bread!!!!! I can almost smell it! It is a secret recipe, hidden in the...,,,, well, I'll let you find out for yourself when you read the story.
Maggie and her grandmother live at the edge of a cranberry bog.
Maggie has invited Mr. Whiskers over for Thanksgiving dinner and grandmother is not too pleased at the thought of him in the house! After all, he smells like seaweed! But each year she tells Maggie, "invite someone poor or lonely", so Maggie invites Mr. Whiskers.
Mr. Whiskers actually ends up saving the day!
The pictures in this book are very warm and charming, and the story holds the interest of my squirmy 2 year old, as well as my older children.
We read it often and have even baked the cranberry bread from the recipe included in the book. It's yummy!
A delightful story for Thanksgiving or any time!~
