Editorial Reviews

I bought this book to teach about the first Thanksgiving to my preschoolers. It is exactly what I was looking for. The length of words on each page is appropriate for 3-4 year olds attention spans. The illustrations was so vivid and colorful. The book uses Native American and not Indian. It also has the names of people involved in the first Thanksgiving such as Governor Bradford and Great Native American Leader, Massasoit. I highly recommend this book.
