Customer Reviews

A Veggie Thanksgiving?!

I had no idea when I picked this up for my 2 year old that it was a vegetarian themed Thanksgiving book. Well, it's not marketed as that, but it certainly fits the bill. After reading another turkey book too many times, I just picked it up because a turkey was front and center, and I was hoping it would be a nice distraction. As vegetarians, we think it's fantastic, and we also love that the book can be sung to the tune of "O My Darling, Clementine!"
