| 1. | ![]() | The Pilgrim's First Thanksgiving
from Scholastic
Customer Review:
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... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Thanksgiving: A Time to Remember
from Crossway Books
Customer Review:
This book helped us bring God back in Thanksgiving! I have 3 elementary children in public school and they are NEVER taught the real reasons and struggles the Pilgrims endured so many hardships for. We used this book as a devotional for the month of November to remind ourselves what we are... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. | ![]() | The Thanksgiving Story
from Marcel Dekker
Customer Review:
I was just at a huge retail bookseller yesterday looking at Thanksgiving books that I could read to my homeschooled Kindergartener. There is a large selelction of bland books about thanksgiving. The wise child will say, "But, WHO are we thanking?" after reading most of those books. THIS book answers... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Harry N. Abrams
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
I bought this book for my mom (81 years old), and it brought back amazing memories for her from her teenage years through the first 20 years of her marriage. The package of ornaments shown on page 11 is the identical one my parents had bought (which we still have - most of them, anyway!). She (and... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

A beautiful book with creative ideas, like having a family hibernation weekend in February.

We (my son is 8) love knowing where our traditions came from. This book covers all religions and beliefs equally and with history. The stories are always pared with great pictures and not too wordy for elementary ages. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Festivus: The Holiday for the Rest of Us
from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
Allen Salkin is the most creative, quirky writer today. He takes Festivus and gives us a super clean, fun holiday that "the rest of us" can enjoy. Particularly if you can't stand the holidays, you can turn to Festivus - it's like group therapy for holiday nay-sayers. But I love Salkin's writing and... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
