Illustrated by
Sally Wern Comport.
Newly illustrated with finely rendered artwork, this edition describes the roots of today's Thanksgiving celebration: the harvest festivals of various cultures, the Pilgrims' first thanksgiving feast in the New World, and President Lincoln's declaration of the national holiday. Clear and concise, the text offers a cornucopia of engaging details. A seasonal song and recipe are appended.
