About This Book
With his grandparents away, Franklin is worried that there will be more food for Thanksgiving than his family can possibly eat. When he learns that his teacher and his mother will be having Thanksgiving dinner alone, he quickly invites them to his house as a surprise for his own mother. However, when Thanksgiving arrives, everyone is surprised — Franklin's mother and father have also invited their own secret guests!About the Authors or Illustrators
When asked what she hopes children will learn from her books, Paulette Bourgeois explains: “It is most important to look for the wonder in ordinary things.” Some of this wonder, and a curious anxiety, spill over into her character Franklin. The world's best-loved turtle overcomes the challenges of the everyday life of a five-year-old in a way that resonates with children.
