| 13. |  | The Story of Valentine's Day
from Candy Cane Press
Price: $6.95
Customer Review:
This is a cute little story that explains to children why we have a Valentine's Day and why we celebrate it with cards and goodies. I wasn't really sure myself, so after reading the story I did some research on the internet. It appears that nobody really knows for sure why we celebrate Valentine's... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 14. | ![]() | The Pilgrim's First Thanksgiving
from Scholastic
Customer Review:
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. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 15. |  | Extreme Pumpkins: Diabolical Do-It-Yourself Designs to Amuse Your Friends and Scare Your Neighbors
from HP Trade
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I like some of the pumpkins in this book, but most are just too gory or sick for me to even think about creating. I like, "Cannibal Pumpkin", "Property Defender Pumpkin", "Road Kill Eating Pumpkin", and "Conjoined Twins Pumpkins" (although I could do a much better one than the one shown in the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 17. |  | Christmas Customs and Traditions
from Dover Publications
Price: $9.56
Customer Review:
You certainly won't find any fluff in this book. It is not, as suggested by another reviewer, written in early modern English, but in thoroughly modern English. The prose is a bit stiff and formal, almost academic (which is consistent with its publication date), but entirely readable. There are a... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from HCI
Price: $11.66
Customer Review:
Having enjoyed several other "Chicken Soup" books my daughter & I were disappointed in this volume. Not all of the entries are personal anecdotes from people. The ones that are, are not that interesting. I would not recommend this particular volume to anyone. | 3.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This book explains how and why our western European culture (among others) systematically represses our natural human inclination to cut loose and enjoy ourselves, and why it is so important for our emotional and political well-being that we continue to do so! Very thorough in explanations and... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 20. |  | Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (NY) (Images of America)
from Arcadia Publishing
Price: $14.95
Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book very much and only wish it were bigger in size to display the pictures better and that more could have been included. Of course spanning 75 years and so many balloons and events with each parade is a daunting task. I gladly would have paid more money to have more pictures and... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
