No current Talk conversations about this book. 974.4 A good account about the first Thanksgiving, carefully balancing fact and story in a delicate blend that does not feel rushed or unlikely at any point. The story progresses quick enough that children don't feel bored or bogged down in details, and does not feel at any time like a history book. A good account for young children who are curious about those first few Pilgrims to Plymouth, or as a holiday tale to read before tucking into the turkey, just as a reminder of how much we have to be thankful for! There are several books written for kids for about thanksgiving and the history behind it, but this book does a great job at explaining it in an age appropriate way so that preschool aged children understand what happened at thanksgiving and what it means to be thankful at Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend this book to teachers/parents/caregivers of preschoolers. Does a great way of explaining the story in age appropriate ways so that the kids can grasp the importance of Thanksgiving for themselves. I would use this story as a reading lesson over a few days looking more in depth into the story everyday to learn new things about the first Thankgiving. I would want the students to write down what they would like to learn about the first Thanksgiving and we would go through each day to see if we could find their answers. This will be engaging for the students since they will be looking for their answers. no reviews | add a review
