Synopsis A modern depiction of the traditional Thanksgiving song. In this picture book the family's journey is not a peaceful sleigh ride through snow covered woods, but rather a crowded car trip caught in a traffic jam caused by a Thanksgiving Day parade. Will the family ever make it to grandfather's house and their Thanksgiving feast? Color illustrations accompany the text., Well-known together with lesser-known verses to the traditional Thanksgiving song are illustrated from both Grandmother's and the journeying family's point of view.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Over the river and through the wood, to grandfather's house we go; the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow."
