Thanksgiving Rules by Laurie Friedman


Friedman, Laurie Thanksgiving Rules, illustrated by Teresa Murfin. Carolrhoda (Lerner), 2009. $16.95. PICTURE BOOK. Percy Isaac Gifford has a plan – a plan for the most important things about Thanksgiving – eating as much as inhumanly possible! But his rules don’t just apply to eating the food, but also doing what you can to smooth the way to eating as early as possible by being polite, kind and helpful before AND after the meal. Percy is pretty cute and does have some goof tips on being polite, trying everythin in front of you and having a great time with the relatives. It might be a good read aloud to talk about manners for the upcoming holiday. EL – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
