Thanks for food
that crunches
And grows in bunches
For food that mashes
And squishes
and smashes
And tastes good
going down.

 

Thanksgiving Day at Our House
Thanksgiving Poems for the Very Young
with illustrator R.W. Alley

Review
“The rhyming verse, varied in form and full of good humor, takes a child’s view of holiday moments, including the arrival of company, Granny’s stories, charades, grace before dinner. . . The themes of prayer and thanks recur throughout the book, giving a dimension of meaning that makes the holiday more than fun and games.” Booklist
