Thanksgiving at Our House (1991) by Wendy Watson

I checked out this book based on my love of the Watsons’ Catch Me, Kiss Me, and Say It Again.  This Thanksgiving book follows a family in their preparations and Thanksgiving feasting.  Mixed in with the story are original nursery rhymes.  On first read, the rhymes seemed a little too non-sensical for me.  But after only one more read-through, I was delighted.  So many of the nursery rhymes we all know so well are completely odd and non-sensical if we really listen to them.  These rhymes have the same flow and crazy imagery, sounding familiar and yet fresh.
