As we all sit down today to some type of Thanksgiving meal, I thought I'd share a picture book we can probably all relate to: The Perfect Thanksgiving!
With a fabulous text by Eileen Spinelli and such lively and funny illustrations by Joann Adinolfi, this is a great seasonal read.
This was my favorite spread. I've really been drawn to illustrations with loose, disproportionate and abstract spaces. Not spots, per se, but those imagined spaces where everything works, when logic tells you it shouldn't. Kudos to you Joann Adinolfi! - Be sure to visit her website. I just adore her illustrated 'About' page.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'd like to take a pause to thank my fellow PBJ's: Roz, Alicia, Kathy, and Deb. I'm so grateful to have you all as my friends and supporters.

No surprise here. My 5th/6th grade discussion group met on Tuesday to discuss the two WK books, and one topic that came up was "Who would you cast to play Greg Heffley in a film version?" I'm dismayed to say that, other than Frankie Muniz, who's probably too old by now, I'd not heard of any of the actors they suggested!
