~Thanksgiving Books~ This is a review of several seasonal books that my daughter enjoys. I thought it might be nice to share them with you. Check out your local bookstore or library for great finds. Also be thankful you can share the joy of reading with your family. ~*~*~ Apples and Pumpkins
This easy to read book has wonderful pictures that bring you into the fun. Although it mentions Halloween, it is suitable for any fall holiday. Join the family as they travel to the country and pick out apples and pumpkins. ~*~*~ Arthur's Thanksgiving
Join Arthur and his class as they prepare for the school's Thanksgiving play. In true Arthur style, there is plenty of fun and misadventure to delight everyone. Arthur learns that things might not work out as planned, but they do work out. ~*~*~ The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush
Little Gopher finds himself and his true gifts as he seeks to share his Dream-Vision with his People. We travel along on his journey and meet those who guide and encourage him. This may not be a traditional Thanksgiving story, but it teaches us to be thankful for who we are and what we can offer. The wonderful illustrations bring us closer to Little Gopher's world. ~*~*~ The First Thanksgiving Come join the Pilgrims in the true story of their journey. Share the hardships and trials from long before they reached Plymouth Rock. Historical facts are brought to the front of this tale, discover how the Indians really were. The illustrations bring to life the experiences of so many and draw you in with all the added detail. Recommended as a family story or older child's book due to the advanced vocabulary. This book is sure to open up discussion. ~*~*~ Turkeys, Pilgrims and Indian Corn: This encyclopedia of sorts helps to enlighten and delight. It shares so many things not taught in school. While not a book to read straight through in one sitting, it allows for discussions with the entire family. It tells about the people, the symbols, the true way of life. And offers resources for finding out more. A good source for school assignments or educational forays. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
