Reynolds’ lively and colorful digital illustrations appear throughout. This beginning chapter book, studded with historical facts, trivia, and wordplay related to Thanksgiving will amuse, and maybe even inform, young readers.
—Booklist
As in the siblings’ previous outings, their spot-on dialogue and banter is a major source of this book’s fun...Reynolds’s full-color illustrations easily tap into the upbeat, offbeat holiday mood.
