1 Thanksgiving Focus Unit By Courtney Branscomb FEATURED SELECTION Cranberry Thanksgiving by Harry Devlin. New York: Aladdin Paperbacks, Grandmother bakes the most famous cranberry bread for miles, but she always hides the recipe behind a brick in the fireplace so no one will steal it. On Thanksgiving Day, Maggie and her grandmother usually invite a guest to dinner, but this year Maggie invites Mr. Whiskers, someone that Grandmother really does not like. Grandmother invites Mr. Horace, but he and Mr. Whiskers do not get along. Mr. Horace finds the hidden recipe as Maggie and Grandmother clean up, but Mr. Whiskers is able to stop him and retrieve the recipe. Grandmother then finds out that Mr. Whiskers knew that Mr. Horace owned a bakery in town, and Mr. Whiskers wanted to come to dinner just to protect her. Even though Mr. Horace tries to steal, the whole group sits down together to eat a piece of pie because it is Thanksgiving Day.
