This book gives information about the first Thanksgiving. Beginning with the journey from England on the Mayflower, the book follows the pilgrims through a harsh winter and many other challenges like illness. The pilgrims survive their hard winter and meet Squanto, who is an Indian warrior. The book ends with the pilgrims having the first Thanksgiving which gave them hope that their colony would thrive.
I would use this book as a read aloud when it gets close to Thanksgiving. I feel that it would give students more of an understanding of the meaning of Thanksgiving.
Since this is titled N.C. Wyeth's Pilgrims, I'm thinking these are his paintings and the author used them to tell a story? Is there any information in the book about the paintings?
