Thanksgiving at the Tappletons by Eileen Spinelli illustrated by Megan Lloyd

Thanksgiving Day does not begin typically as the turkey slides out the door and sinks to the bottom of the pond.  Mrs. Tappleton is not honest and deceives her husband.  The day continues with mishaps and then a lie to cover up the mistake.  As the entire family gathers to eat, lie upon lie are uncovered and individuals must confess.
Illustrations by Megan Lloyd are lovely, of course!
My four year old son loved this book.  We read it two times in a row and will probably read it again and again!
Strategy: predicting
Points to discuss: lying and confessing
