"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" by Charles M. Schulz

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is the prime-time animated TV special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It was originally aired on the CBS network on November 20, 1973, and won an Emmy Award the following year.

Based on the book:

The special opens with Lucy enticing Charlie Brown to kick the football she is holding. Charlie Brown at first refuses, correctly suspecting that Lucy will pull it away as always; but Lucy convinces him that kicking the football is a Thanksgiving tradition...

It ends with Snoopy and Woodstock going to the doghouse and cooking up their own traditional Thanksgiving meal that includes a turkey, complete with all the trimmings. They pull apart the wishbone, with Woodstock snapping off the bigger piece. Over the end credits, the two friends each devour dessert: a large piece of pumpkin pie. They then sit back with contented smiles as Woodstock pats his full stomach.

Valentine Books for Children

Love "knows no boundaries" in this simple story in which Frog is too shy to tell Duck that he loves her.

In this new picture book, Frog presents with strange symptoms. He doesn't know if he is happy or sad, and his heart thumps faster than usual. Hare thinks hard, 'just like a real doctor', and proclaims he must be in love. Frog delights in this diagnosis, and decides the lovely white duck is his heart's desire. 'A frog can't be in love with a duck,' announces the pragmatic pig. 'You're green, and she's white.' Find out what happens in the end!
