Over the River and Through the Wood
by Lydia Maria Child
(Check Catalog)

Children's Literature
This poem became a song and has for more than 150 years been associated with Thanksgiving. Catrow has provided an artistic interpretation that is far from traditional. His Thanksgiving family sets out in their van with kids screaming in the backseat. Baby somehow gets out of his car seat, slips through the window, and begins a fantastic journey, one that includes riding on the back of a horse pulling a hansom cab, sailing through the air with a huge balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and it concludes when he parachutes back safely into his grandmother's arms. It's wild and wacky, and not to everyone's taste.
