A boy describes his annual Thanksgiving festivities at his grandparents' farm, where everyone enjoys a communal meal outdoors, sings songs, and more; a foreword indicates that the celebration is modeled on a real upstate New York tradition. Readers may not share the boy's exuberance about the familiar kumbaya-ish goings-on, and the art has an ersatz quality ill-suited to this down-home gathering.
