Cranberry Thanksgiving

By Harry Devlin and Wende Devlin

Book Overview

Every year Grandmother invited a guest for Thanksgiving dinner and allowed Maggie to do the same.

"Ask someone poor or lonely," she always said.

Thanksgiving was Grandmother's favorite day of the year. The cooking was done and her famous cranberry bread was cooling on a wooden board. But she wasn't happy to find out Maggie had invited the unsavory Mr. Whiskers to dinner. Would her secret cranberry bread recipe be safe with him in the house?

A delightful 1971 classic with Grandmother's secret recipe on the back

when i was in the 3rd grade

when i was in the third grade, my teacher mrs. higgenbotham read us this book, and then we made the cranberry bread in class- i thought that it was the greatest thing back then, even though everyone hated the cranberries! i am so excited to have found this book again and cannot wait to share it with my stepsister who is in the 3rd grade this year- im sure she'll hate the cranberries as well, but im also sure she'll love the book-

A Holiday Favorite!

I remember my father buying this book for me sometime in the early '70's. I loved Mr. Whiskers from the very beginning. It was one of my first lessons that there is more to a person than meets the eye. And I was fascinated by the "secret" recipie- I still make it for holiday parties, and everyone loves it! I'm looking forward to holiday time and sharing it once again with my nephew!

Passed down through generations

My mom bought this book for me when I was a child in the 70's, now I have my own daughter in 1998 and can't wait to share this with her. I love the pictures and how scary Mr. Whiskers always was to me!

entertaining generation after generation

purchased this book in the 1970's, my children enjoyed both the book and the recipe, which I prepared for their classes. Now my grandsons enjoy the book and love to have the cake made for their classes.
