The Very First Thanksgiving Day

(4) PS Illustrated by Susan Gaber. The cumulative verses forming this account of the first Thanksgiving from a Pilgrim perspective have definite kid appeal. Beginning and ending with the "Indians, skillful and strong," the rhymes are catchy if occasionally forced, and the chronology--from the feast backward to the settlers' departure from England, then forward again to the feast--is innovative. Careful, somewhat stylized acrylics illustrate the text.
