For any child--and indeed any adult--one of the most important lessons in life is learning how to turn an enemy into a friend. Sally Huss does this brilliantly in her little book about "Thanksgiving Dinner." It is a story of how a turkey, a duck, and a goose all learn how to avoid becoming each other's Thanksgiving Dinner by turning enemies into friends, that is, by warning each other of the impending danger of loose rocks heading in their direction. It is a story of how simple kindness can save one's life. For children looking to find their way in an adult world, these are crucial lessons. Sally Huss provides these stories in a short book with adorable drawings of happy creatures. Many thanks to Ms. Huss for helping children gain such important insight. I can only guess that it is her way of expressing thanks on Thanksgiving.
