Description
“When Mrs. Bassett learns that her mother has taken ill, Farmer Bassett escorts his wife on the long drive and, with the best of intentions, the older children set about making the holiday meal….. Conveys the warmth and love of a shared holiday event..” -Publishers Weekly “This is how Thanksgiving should be remembered. A soft snow cover, a feast of turkey and a happy, healthy family are all the ingredients for this festive, thankful, homespun holiday…. It is the early to mid 1800s in New Hampshire and Mrs. Bassett is preparing her family's Thanksgiving meal, but is interrupted by someone " . . . comin' up the hill lively!" with news of her mother being very ill. Immediately Farmer Bassett and his wife leave to be with her, leaving the six children home to prepare the meal. Though none have ever cooked before—how difficult could it be? Their mother made meals so easily. When Pa arrives later with Ma, Grandma, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Mose and their children, all is well. (Grandma's illness was just a misunderstanding.) Was the children's first attempt preparing Thanksgiving memorable? You be the judge and make plans to weave this nostalgic story into your holiday traditions..” -Children's Literature “A classic holiday story…. This is a simple, old-fashioned look at family togetherness during the holiday.” -School Library Journal “Wholesome, timely story.” -Atlanta Journal-Constitution
