Review

This is a non-fiction picture book for K-2 to introduce the subject of the pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving to young children. The text is brief and factual, easy to understand, goes well with the illustrations which are created with Winsor & Newton goache on Arches paper. Also included are a Time Line, Resources and Journals, Publications, & Educational Materials. Useful for classroom or for families to read together before Thanksgiving.

Overall Book Score: good
