Bookroo's summary
Franklin loves Thanksgiving, especially with his grandparents. This year, they're away, so he invites friends to fill the void. Unbeknownst to him, his parents do the same. As guests flood in, the house overflows. How will Franklin and his family accommodate everyone for the holiday feast? Discover the heartwarming solution in this delightful tale.
From the publisher
In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our young hero likes everything about Thanksgiving, from eating pumpkin-fly pie to making cornucopias. But what he likes best is having his Grandma and Grandpa share the holiday with him and his family. This year, however, his grandparents are traveling abroad. Thanksgiving just won’t be the same without guests around the table, so Franklin decides to invite some friends for dinner. What a nice surprise it will be for his parents. Only Franklin’s mother and father have the same idea, and on Thanksgiving Day all their friends show up for the festivities! With no more room in the house, where will the holiday meal take place?
