The Thanksgiving Door

When Ed and Ann's turkey dinner burns, they think their Thanksgiving is ruined. But what appears to be a disaster becomes a blessing in disguise when Ed and Ann unknowingly intrude on an immigrant family's own Thanksgiving celebration at their new restaurant, The New World Caf . Once Grandmother silences her despairing family and invites the unexpected customers to join them, they all share an evening of friendship, good food, and lots of dancing--reminding everyone that Thanksgiving is about opening one's heart in welcome to the strangers who become friends and the disappointments that bring unexpected joys. This description may be from another edition of this product.

In everything ... give thanks!

Our family of seven HIGHLY recommends this truly wonderful book. If you've ever burned dinner, or any part of a meal, you will smile (or maybe cry) as you read. Ann burns the turkey dinner and is glum. Ed recommends they try the new restaurant. The family operating the restaurant thought they were closed when the elderly couple enters. Everyone gets more than they expect. The final outcome? All things work together for good!...

A happy story in a busy world

I purchased this book to read to my 2 neices ages 5 and 3. The 5 year old was able to read some of the words to and with me. They both enjoyed the story and ask their mother to read it to them on a regular basis. The story is a wonderful tale of sharing of company and culture with an older couple who would other wise had spent Thanksgiving alone without a proper dinner.

True Thanksgiving and sharing spirit. TERRIFIC find! Ukrainian/Russian heritage, too!

What an enjoyable book! Very different storyline than most Thanksgiving Day books, but the spirit of the holiday is wonderfully, accurately captured and very well conveyed. The writing style also is a bit unusual but fits the story. Our 5-year old really enjoyed the book (as did we!) and right away noticed the Ukrainian heritage (dancing) and names. TERRIFIC BOOK!
