Why we Have Thanksgiving

Author: Margaret Hillert
Illustrator: Dan Siculan
Publishing information: (Norwood House Press, March 1981, Baby-Preschool)
Number of Pages: 31 pages
Genre: Picture

Summary of Plot:
           
This is about the story of how the pilgrims got from England to America. There were unhappy, so they sailed to America for freedom. They ate the first Thanksgiving as a meal of thanks for being free, with the Native Americans helping them to know the land.
           
My Reaction to the book:
            It is very basic. I like how it rhymed. I would like to have more information presented, even if it is meant for preschoolers.
                                               
Potential Problems:

None
           
Recommendations:

This could be a good story to read to a preschool near thanksgiving time. It is accurate, it is just very basic.
