5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for kids up to the age of four, December 31, 2005

A Kid's Review

I read this book at the toy store on Thursday. I wanted to buy it for my four-year-old cousin. He has Spot Goes to the Park, Spot Goes to the Beach, and Spot's Baby Sister. In this book, Spot bakes a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving with Sam's best pumpkin. Toward the end of the book, Grandma and Grandpa come over for Thanksgiving dinner and give Spot a pilgrim hat. I suggest this book to kids up to four years of age.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot of content but still a cute book, November 30, 2007

This board book was good for my one-year old. He recognized the hat. There is not a lot of content though, and the only thing they really learn about Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie and seeing extended family. Oh, and the pilgrim hat too. But I'm not sorry I bought it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doggone Good, October 14, 2003

By	Michelle "michellesays" (U.S.) - See all my reviews

The only drawback about adoring the Spot the dog series is that my children continue to hunger for more. Finally Eric Hill has thrown us another bone. Spot's Thanksgiving dishes up bold, playful color and simple text ideal for toddler read-alouds or older children read-alongs. This particular tale stresses sentiments fitting for this holiday: manners (Spot helps his mom in the kitchen with the pumpkin pie), quality time with family (Grandpa and Grandma come for dinner) and patriotism (an American flag waves from the center of the pie). While this book did not have the popular lift-the-flaps found in other Eric Hill books, such as the newly released Spot's Treasure Hunt or in Spot Can Count, my daughters (ages 3.75 and 2 years) still requested it again and again.
