Thanksgiving Is Here! by Diane Goode*

This book  portrays the craziness but fun on Thanksgiving Day as many family members gather at Grandma's house.
I really liked the sweet grandparents in this story.  The illustrations are adorable too (and very funny!).
The crying baby made me cringe but also laugh!!  Ms. Goode captures how a full house tends to be!!
Two different size fonts are included on most pages.  The larger font is the main idea and the smaller font are the details to support it.
Could use this story to introduce a simplistic version of main idea/supporting details.
Strategies: main idea 
*Highly recommend.
Guided Reading Level: K (beginning of 2nd grade)
