FAVORITE BOOKS FOR THANKSGIVING

by
David Lubar

The Ear, the Eye, and the Drumstick—a fabulous collection of recipes for those leftover and rarely used parts of the turkey.

Cranberries for Sal—in which a young girl realizes that her life is bogging down.

Pippy Lumpstuffings—a spunky redhead, left on her own by a self-indulgent, career-driven father, manages to make a passable Thanksgiving feast for herself and her horse.

The Very Hungry Relatives—a horror novel that might be upsetting to younger readers.

The Jelly Postman—in similar fashion to Frosty, a tale of a civil servant sculpted from cranberry jelly by a bored lad and animated by some unspecified magic.

The Noshing House—actually more concerned with the day after Thanksgiving, but extremely satisfying and fulfilling.

Fowl Moon—a youngster learns a lesson about shopping at outdoor markets with bad lighting and, after bringing home a duck instead of a turkey, tries to defend her actions with all sorts of poultry excuses.

Jeremy Thatcher, Turkey Hatcher—in which a boy establishes a telepathic link with a turkey and discovers it has no thoughts whatsoever.
