Gibbons Writes a Book to be Thankful For

Too dry and dull
You can use this book to introduce Thanksgiving to kids, but I'm sure there must be better ones.

Turkey Day,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thanksgiving Day (Paperback)
Being a fan of this joyous holiday and celebration, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I loved all the bright fall colors used in the illustrations. The book gives a brief history of the Thanksgiving holiday and discusses modern festivities. It made me very hungry for pumpkin pie and turkey! Any child would love this book especially during the fall. If I was captivated by the bright orange pumpkins and trees, I'm sure children would be too!
