Reach for this book when your child is facing a new, unwelcome routine, specifically a restricted diet or a visit to the doctor that feels like a personal affront.

This classic tale follows Garfield as he is put on a strict diet by a veterinarian right before the biggest food holiday of the year: Thanksgiving. While Garfield grumbles and schemes, the story explores themes of resilience and the importance of patience through a lens of slapstick comedy. It is a lighthearted choice for elementary-aged children that validates their annoyance with rules while ultimately showing that they can survive, and even enjoy, a change in plans.
