      This is a pretty, sweet, short story about celebrating Thanksgiving in the 1800's (I don't think the date was specifically named, but Alcott lived from 1832-1888). The story takes place on a farm in New Hampshire; the mother and father of a big family are called away to deal with sickness in the family. The children, especially the oldest girl, Tilly, are determined to cook Thanksgiving dinner anyway; they make a few mistakes with herbs and other ingredients, but they get most of it right and manage to get a good dinner on the table for their family. It was nice and cozy to read about all the family togetherness, good food, and happiness. I didn't like how the regional accents were spelled out in the book - blergh. I wonder if there's an edition that's been standardized. There's nothing more annoying/distracting! But the book is still a cute story and a quick read. It was coupled with charcoal illustrations that were nicely representative of the action.

      A sweet tale of young girls preparing their first Thanksgiving meal for the family.
