Rylant, Cynthia and Suçie Stevenson Annie and Snowball and the Thankful Friends. 40 pgs. Simon Spotlight, 2011. $3.99. Content: G.
Annie and her father have just moved to a new town, and while they have a huge table to serve a Thanksgiving feast, they don't know many people to invite. Since Annie wants a big dinner, she enlists the help of her cousin Henry. Together they come up with a list of people to invite, but they're one short. When a surprise guest joins them at the very last minute, though, their dinner is complete.
A cute, easy-to-read early chapter book with engaging characters and enough plot to keep children reading - and wondering who will fill that last chair. Colorful illustrations and some humorous elements add to the story and help it to become a year-round tale.
