A Wonderful Classic

It is Thanksgiving night and I just finished reading this book to my four year old son and tucked him in for the night. This book was a favorite of my mother's when she was young. She shared it with me as a child and now I am reading it with my children. It tells the story of the Pilgrims starting in England; going to Holland and then coming across the sea in the Mayflower and ultimately landing in Plymouth where they form a friendship with the Indians and share a Thanksgiving feast. It is a nice story and the illustrations are wonderful. A fun way to share some history with children of all ages.

Old-fashioned Weekly Reader, great Thanksgiving story!

This is a really old book in the "Weekly Reader" series that is still used in schools today (at least in my kids' school!) Drawings on every page show authentic dress styles and activities. The drawings are warm and light-hearted, and some are funny. Text is great for beginning readers and gives a thorough overview of the Thanksgiving story on more than 60 pages. It was written in 1931 as part of the "Really Truly" series of books--among the first non-fiction books printed for very young children. Very enjoyable classic if you can find one!
