Franklin is very disappointed his grandparents can't come for Thanksgiving dinner. So he invites his teacher and his friend's family as a surprise. His mother and father each secretly invite a friend too. So on Thanksgiving Day, there are too many people to fit into the turtles' house. So, they have to take their meal outdoors into the forest like the Pilgrims did for the first Thanksgiving.
A cute book for the holiday season!
