Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Ages 4^-7. The title puts this book in with the holiday books, but its lure is the jaunty text and whimsical artwork that can be appreciated all year long. With her mother, a little girl waits for her uncles to come home from the sea for the Thanksgiving holiday. As they wait, Mother reminisces about Cory, Fred, Davey, Joe, Henry, and Will. The rhyming text tells of Cory, who sings louder than the morning crows, and bookworm Davy, who can't see past his nose. As Mother describes her brothers, they come to life through her words as well as through the stylized pictures that brim with vitality and good cheer. The text, which skips between the young narrator's questions and her mother's answers, is earthy in its descriptions of the brothers and their hearty feast, and melodic as it talks about the music the brothers will make as they play their instruments. Set sometime in the past century, the book has both the charm of yesteryear and plenty of spunk for today's audience. Ilene Cooper
From Kirkus Reviews
In high contrast to the rollicking relatives in Cynthia Rylant's The Relatives Came (1985), this gentle ballad addresses a young girl's quiet anticipation of Thanksgiving Day as she awaits the arrival of her uncles - her mother's six brothers. Mother and daughter curl up together and wistfully gaze out the window and down the road, savoring fond memories of a bygone childhood in a house by the sea. The two imagine the feast and the good times about to be had. ``Oh the kitchen will quake, the oven will roar, the music will flow from window and door!'' Each farmer uncle is defined by a single characteristic - strong or tall, warbling or near-sighted. The lanky, Abe-Lincolnish uncles arrive at last and the promise of singing and raising the planks is certain to be fulfilled. Umbered hillsides and shredded-wheat haystacks boast a pre-industrial agrarian setting matching the slower pace of this reminiscence, calling to mind such classics as Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House (1943), and offering a glimpse of a pastoral, biscuits-and-gravy life among solid farm folk.

A nice change from the usual "What size turkey should I buy?" and "What should I wear?". Don't get me wrong--I'm not against pilgrims, but this is a fresh book to cherish. Whimsical art. Rythmic storyline. A welcome addition to our library and my library at home. Margaret Willey, it's been a long wait for this children's book!
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I've enjoyed reading all of Margaret Willey's young adult novels. Illustrator, Lloyd Bloom,captures the essence of a "rollicking" Thanksgiving. Enough worrying about the size of the turkey and what to wear--let's get back to the basics!

Thanksgiving WIth Me
21. November 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I absolutely ADORE this book! As a K-8 elementary school librarian, I love to share this book with all my classes during the Thanksgiving season. I must admit, I always get a "catch" in my throat at the last page! It reminds me of my "red-headed little brother"! Margaret Willey captures true family attachments - the attachments that last through years and miles. Even though I see recommended ages to Grade 2, my 4th and 5th graders ask me to read this book every year. I highly recommend this book!
