    About this ebook

    Who will Franklin the turtle have at his Thanksgiving table? He’s in for a big surprise!

    In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our young hero likes everything about Thanksgiving, from eating pumpkin-fly pie to making cornucopias. But what he likes best is having his Grandma and Grandpa share the holiday with him and his family. This year, however, his grandparents are traveling abroad. Thanksgiving just won’t be the same without guests around the table, so Franklin decides to invite some friends for dinner. What a nice surprise it will be for his parents. Only Franklin’s mother and father have the same idea, and on Thanksgiving Day all their friends show up for the festivities! With no more room in the house, where will the holiday meal take place?

    This fixed-layout ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book, features read-along narration.

      Franklin is very disappointed his grandparents can't come for Thanksgiving dinner. So he invites his teacher and his friend's family as a surprise. His mother and father each secretly invite a friend too. So on Thanksgiving Day, there are too many people to fit into the turtles' house. So, they have to take their meal outdoors into the forest like the Pilgrims did for the first Thanksgiving.A cute book for the holiday season!
