Over The River

Lydia Maria Child's beloved poem turned classic song embodies the magic of bundling up and riding a horse-drawn sleigh to visit Grandmother for Thanksgiving. Set in the nineteenth century, this story features Christopher Manson's indelible wood carvings, which capture the wonders of winter—such as sledding and ice-skating—and the Thanksgiving feast, complete with pumpkin pie. Music and lyrics at the back of the book let you sing along.

And readers of all ages will be wondering who gobbles up whom until the dessert finale.
