Kids don't even know they're learning history,
By MEJ "justmyview" (Cowlesville, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of the Pilgrims (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
I have been perusing children's books for historical events and people. This is a nice introduction to the Mayflower and the history of Thanksgiving. It gives enough detail that very young children will actually learn some history, yet it is short and to the point to keep their interest. The only fault is that I could not get a hardcover edition.
I like this one better than The Pilgrims' First Thanksgiving by Ann McGovern.

Simple telling of a complicated time,
This review is from: The Story of the Pilgrims (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
This is a great book for introducing the concept of the first settlers in America. Considering the targeted age, which I think is 4 or 5 year olds, I can handle some minor inaccuracies. It communicates on a simple level the difficulties that the Separatists felt in England, their courage to leave their homeland for an unknown territory, their lengthy time at sea, and their ideas about their unknown Indian neighbors which were corrected by the generous way the Indians helped them. It ends by simply stating that we still observe Thanksgiving today, inspired by this pilgrim's feast, helping a young child understand that we are still connected to these courageous people. It takes some complicated ideas and deals with them in a way that young minds can understand.

Great for the Age Group Intended,
By Teacher Suzanne (SUNNYVALE, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of the Pilgrims (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
This book was wonderful for my preschool class. It helped introduce them to why we have a Thanksgiving feast. As I explained to my student's parents, four and five year olds are much to young to be burdened with future genocide discussions.
