This review is from: A child's story of Thanksgiving (Hardcover)

I looked over dozens of Thanksgiving books at the bookstore to find one that told the story of Thanksgiving . I thought this one was one of the two best I saw. The story was told simply, but also describing new words well. It starts with why people chose to leave England, the hardships they faced here, how the Indians helped the newcomers, and how the first Thanksgiving came about. What I thought really added to this story was that it described how we celebrate Thanksgiving today, and things we can do to show our thanks by helping others. That was one thing I was really looking for in a Thanksgiving book. I wanted my 5 year old to understand better why we do things for others during the holidays, and throughout the year. This may be a little long for too young kids, but looks great for 4 and older. Hope you enjoy it too.
