Rivka's First Thanksgiving

32 pp. | McElderry | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83901-4 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Maryann Kovalski. Cheerful colored-pencil and acrylic illustrations chock-full of amusing detail and wonderful facial expressions draw readers into a well-told tale about a Jewish immigrant family's first Thanksgiving in early-twentieth-century New York City. This is for a younger audience than Barbara Cohen's classic, Molly's Pilgrim. An author's note provides some prefatory information. Glos.
Reviewer: Amy Lois Cohn
