Review

This is a board book about Thanksgiving from a little dog named Tucker's point of view. He smells the wonderful aromas of special foods cooking and can't wait for all the good eats. To make things even better, his cousin dogs Tiger and Murphy come over for the day, too. Romping and begging ensue, though the dogs begin to wonder if they will ever get their dinners. The colors used in this sturdy book are bright and the illustrations are very simple and appealing. The text, however, is black and plain with quite small font. This will definitely be a read aloud for the toddlers and not one that the older kids aged 5 or so will be drawn to learn the words to. All in all though, this should be considered for a holiday choice.

Overall Book Score: good
