Synopsis:
This is a rhyming description of Max and his family's Thanksgiving Day, starting with the selection of a turkey at the supermarket and ending with a fond farewell to all the dinner guests. With the turkey somehow winding up in the fish tank, the story should provide a fun and memorable read-aloud experience for children of all ages!
