Thanksgiving Treat written and illustrated by Catherine Stock
Evryone is busy preparing for Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandma is busy stuffing the turkey, the girls are peeling potatoes, and the aunts are making pumpkin pies. The storyteller is always in the way and he resorts to picking up the chestnuts that Grandpa is knocking out of the tree with his cane.
The watercolor illustrations reflect the fall season with colorful leaves on the trees and seasonal vegetables. Grandma's house is warm and cozy and outdoor scenes feel like a day in the country.
