Publisher Description
Features an audio read-along! Leslie McGuirk’s enthusiastic Tucker tries to be a patient little pup in this Thanksgiving story that is satisfying in every way. When Tucker smells a familiar scent in the air, he knows his favorite day of the year has come —Thanksgiving! Tucker loves to play with his family, help clean up, and most of all, enjoy a delicious feast. But as the day goes by, Tucker and his doggy cousins haven’t had even a bite. Will they ever get to gobble up any holiday treats?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McGuirk's white pup Tucker returns in his fourth holiday board book (following Ho, Ho, Ho, Tucker!, Tucker's Spooky Halloween, and Tucker's Valentine), and like most humans, he's excited about the food that Thanksgiving involves: "He wants to help, too, especially if someone drops some food!" Tucker also helps out with cleaning and crafting, plays around with his canine cousins, and is (briefly) anxious when it seems like the "big meal" is happening without them. (Rest assured, there are plenty of leftovers for all dogs in attendance.) McGuirk sticks to a simple, celebratory narrative, and her gouache cartoons and hand-lettered text give the book a homey feel that's just right for the holiday. Ages 2 5.
