Very short but fun for young children. The rhymes are simple and only make about four lines each segment. What really wins are the illustrations - several had me cracking up and they were ridiculously adorable. What's especially funny is a well-animated turkey graces several of the pages, but then when the last shows the Thanksgiving dinner with a cooked Turkey - well, uh oh....but then I see the same animated Turkey sitting in at the table with the rest of the crowd. 0_0

This is a fun book that would be a good way to start a history unit. It's rhyming pattern is catchy and there are some strong themes that will allow the reader to go deeper in their thinking.
Fun pictures. Engaging rhyme. Minor complaint I remember at time: Don't believe the Pilgrims knew exactly where they were heading to. Book implies that they did; believe it was named at the journey's end. Oh well - not so bad; having it there makes the reader glad.
