When the heroine of the story accidentally drops and breaks a treasured gravy boat at Thanksgiving, her grandmother shows her her "memory cupboard," where she keeps all the small broken items she has accumulated over the years--and where she "keeps" the memories that go with all those items. A very nice concept and I love the overt message that people are more important than things, but the presentation of the story didn't quite do it for me. The illustrations, however, are stunning. ( ) When Katie and her parents travel for two days by train to get to her grandparents' house for Thanksgiving, the young girl is excited to see her extended family, and to visit with her beloved Grandma. But then an accident at dinner - Katie breaks the antique gravy boat given to Grandma by her own mother, and her Uncle Eddie, when they were children - casts a pall over the occasion. Can Grandma, by sharing her memory cupboard, with all its damaged treasures, show Katie that "people are more important than things...?" A poignant tale with a heartfelt message about what is truly important, one that had me tearing up as I read it, The Memory Cupboard is one holiday story that I recommend! Children from families with a strong Thanksgiving tradition, in particular, will enjoy this tale of a girl and her grandmother. The artwork by Ben F. Stahl - who illustrated another holiday tale, The St. Patrick's Day Shillelagh, that I enjoyed - was expressive and appealing. I don't tend to read a lot of Thanksgiving titles (compared to Halloween or Christmas, for instance), but I'm glad I gave this one a chance! Recommended to anyone looking for warm family stories for the Thanksgiving season. This is a perfect tie-in for a personal narrative unit. A young girl recounts a Thanksgiving at her grandmother's house when she breaks a treasured gravy boat. Rather than getting angry, her grandmother shows her a cupboard where she keeps broken items from a lifetime of child-rearing. She calls it her "memory cupboard" because each object reminds her of a special time or person. The best part, however, is the grandmother's message of forgiveness and of the fact that our feelings are more important than any object in our home. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
