This is one of the most enjoyable Thanksgiving books we've ever read. VERY well-done. A school-age boy, David, has been learning about the history of Thanksgiving, and having a very vivid imagination, creates scenes in him mind starring himself of what it would have been like to live during the
The only thing that takes points away from this book is David's attitude. But it is minor. He talks about he "hates his stupid sweater." I believe there are plenty of other ways to articulate that David was frustrated, but that's my preference and it is minor.
There is a lovely message at the end from David's teacher that speaks volumes.
