Thanksgiving Crafts and Cookbook
Hathaway
1979
Just in case you have no ideas what to do this Thanksgiving holiday, this book is for you. The illustrations are just outrageous. That groovy doe-eyed look on everyone from Pilgrims to the modern people is just….weird. Think of these as a pencil version of a Peter Max wannabe. I think I will stick to my traditions of the Lions losing and marathon Hallmark Channel movies.
Thankfully,

I found this entry about the illustrator. It says she is “a California girl at heart.” Guess that was the inspiration in this book. https://www.paperlesspost.com/designers/hannah_berman
The hands, those creepy, clunky hands, tonight you will awaken, in a sweat, to feel those hands pressing, pressing a pillow, down and down…
Exactly my thought. *shiver*
What! No shriveled apple heads dolls. Every crafter should have the motto, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
Just last night (really) I asked the librarian if it was time to put the Thanksgiving books on display. She said yes, but first she had to check which nonfiction ones were offensive, with particular reference to “dressing up as Indians”.
It’s easier for adults: Thanksgiving is when you eat too much, and watch football.
Yes… not sure if we should be encouraging the family to be running around in loincloths this holiday.
Pilgrim and Indian Eggs has got to be one of the more insane ideas I’ve ever seen… those things are as complex as Balkan Easter eggs! (http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/file/show/Images/Images.New.restored/easter%20eggs.jpg_
Those are Art.
“you may have to drive”? isn’t this book aimed at young kids?
Is that a groovy teenage boy with a turtleneck, beads, bellbottoms, and one sandal and one shoe?
