Gobble Up These Thanksgiving Books

FAVORITE BOOKS FOR THANKSGIVING

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.
