Adorable, CHARMING little story about New England farm children in mid 19th centry trying to whip up a delicious Thanksgiving feast to surprise their parents, who had to attend to a sick grandma but were expected back for that night. The kids are in for a suprise of their own. Awwww.

An old-fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott
Start starts out with the six siblings and how they are able to save the day for Thanksgiving.
The parents had to leave to help a neighbor and they all pitch in-interesting that they have been paying attention all the years prior
and are able to pull it off. The others doubt they can do it, the two oldest ones.
Younger children go sledding and they hope to have it all done by the time their parents arrive home.
They put the spices in and although they smell a bit different it should be good.
Includes a recipe at the end.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Louisa May Alcott not quite at her best, but worthwhile, nostalgic and sweet anyhow. A dire message about an ailing family member sends 'ma' and 'pa' to visit the old home place fearing the worst. It's up to the young children to save Thanksgiving and make sure dinner gets made on time.
Enjoyable and quick to read.
