Katie Saves Thanksgiving (Katie Woo)

Katie Woo is a cute 6 year old in the first grade. She has a ton of adventures and in this book, she just so happens to help save Thanksgiving. As in our area, snow is often possible during the season and a power outage isn't out of the question. Katie learns to help others and saves Thanksgiving in the process.

I love these Capstone books. This one is so age appropriate and could be read by a beginning reader with a little help. This is especially great for the young reader who has older siblings and are reading series, they can now have their own series to collect. Like the other Capstone books I have reviewed, this one has discussion questions, a glossary, a recipe and a website to go and meet Katie and her friends online. Katie is a show more very cute Asian/American and I can't wait to have my daughter read more of these great books! The Thanksgiving book even teaches a bit about the first Thanksgiving before diving into the adventure.

The author lives in New York and writes with the help of her two cats and Katie is a more mischievous version of her great-niece, Katie Woo.

Another 7 out of 7... rush out and get this to share with your little reader for Thanksgiving!

(This review for all the books in the series that I've read.)

I'm surprised that I've not heard of this series before, as there are so many of them. But then, they're pretty forgettable, superficial, not worth anyone recommending them to me. The characters are generic except for their names and the ethnicities ascribed by the illustrations. There's no development over the course of the series, and no need to read them in order.

There is, however, a page of vocabulary words, and apparently usually 2 out of 3 bonus features: discussion questions, recipe, craft.
