Delightful book!

DePaola's books are always delightful! This is a great one for introducing young children to the Thanksgiving holiday. I gave this as a baby gift which included 12 books, a "Baby's Book of the Month Collection". This was my November selection.

Great for babies

Cute, but very short. This is good for very young children and just to get the main, basic idea of Thanksgiving across. If you’re looking for something accurate or educational, this is not the book for you. If you just want something cute and colorful, go for it!

Holds up to rough use.

Bought this for our autistic son. He loves the simple story & pictures. I love the thick pages that hold up to his rough style.

Excellent story for babies (and 1 & 2 yr olds) true to Tomie dePaola style. Also excellent for beginning readers!

Adorable

For a first grandchild! We've bought the entire series of major holidays for all of baby's "firsts". Nicely laminated and just the right amount of words for a young baby. Very satisfied.
