I found this book to be a joyful read. We can hardly wait for Thanksgiving to use it at our table, but already I have learned more about my own history than I knew before. A retired teacher visiting from Germany saw the book laying on the table and read it, delighted with its illustrations and information. She was sure, she said, that this book would make a wonderful English lesson book for the children in Germany. I agreed, and suggest that the author consider submitting the book to some schools in the States as a text. Here is a charming treatment of a wonderful American holiday, and one which should help bring the family together--as we once were on Thanksgiving--giving thanks, for each other, for God's goodness and especially for our opportunity to live in this great nation.

What a great idea to write a fun and interactive book about the history of Thanksgiving!! My kids loved it, it brought the story of our great-great-grandparents back into our lives. The entire family enjoyed the games and the "Think About It" sections. It will make our next Thanksgiving a bit more special and may even bring some hard-core football addicts back to the family Thanksgiving dinner table.

I was so jazzed about finding this book! I still can't believe how much more there is to the story of Thanksgiving than the Mayflower and the Pilgrims. It blew me away! Kids will absolutely love all the creative exercises the book offers and the illustrations are fabulous! I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and putting to task all the recommendations the author makes for making Thanksgiving a more meaningful holiday. No more missed educational opportunities for my kids! I very very highly recommend this book for any family - and teachers too!

This book is a fantastic gift for kids for the Thanksgiving holiday. This book includes information and games for the whole family to participate in. The pictures are atractive and colorful and the recipes help make the Thanksgiving meal better. The book is designed in a style to bring the family together in sharing the Thanksgiving holidays. I learned many interesting things while reading it and had fun too.
