The illustrations were also lackluster and didn't add much to the story. Overall, I found this book to be a missed opportunity to create a meaningful and engaging Thanksgiving story.
2. Peter - 2 stars - I found "Thanksgiving Discovery in the Magic Tree House" to be quite predictable and uninspiring. The plot was formulaic and lacked originality, making it difficult for me to truly enjoy the story. The characters were one-dimensional and didn't have any depth or complexity. Additionally, some of the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. I was hoping for a more engaging and unique Thanksgiving tale, but unfortunately, this book fell short of my expectations.
