Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Pilgrims' very first Thanksgiving lasted three whole days. Ann McGovern's simple text introduces children to the struggles of the Pilgrims during their very first year at Plymouth Colony and the events leading to the historic occasion we celebrate today.

This book was longer than I expected it to be. The illustrations were very well done, and the history was explained well at a 5-6 year old's level. It did, however, seem to be a little non-sequitur and was definitely written from a skewed view-point.

My 5 yr old liked this book since he learned about Thanksgiving, he said it was perfect. My 3 yr old found it boring, he only sat thru part of it.

While I can appreciate the criticism some readers have offered on this book, I say the bottom line matters: my children love it. The simple text and nice pictures make the subject accessible for young ones. They take it off the shelf even when Thanksgiving is months away. Many questions follow: why could they not pray the way they wanted? Why did Indians kill deer to survive? Why did women and girls have to work on Thanksgiving? In my opinion, this book - or should I say the introduction to history - opens the door to further learning. As a result, we bought other books on specific subjects (like about Native Americans). Sure, "Pilgrims's First Thanksgiving" could go into a lot more detail, but that would make it a book for older kids. Highly recommended as is.

This book is informative about the Thanksgiving Tradition and the illistrations are lovely. I want my grandchildren to know why we have Thanksgiving and that it is more than Football Games and Big Shopping.

This book was full of information. So full in fact that it is almost too much for it's intended age group. To read this with my 3 year old, who LOVES stories, we had to read it in three installments. The book seemed more appropriate for children who are older or can read to themselves, my 6 year old loved it!
