Dip into memories.

Being the overly happy and optomistic 18 year old that I am today, I found my copy of this book in a bag of donations to be sent to the needy. Yet, I felt I need this book more than you know. This simple book gives a pleasent motivation to any youngster. It has a simple ryhme structure, which not only makes the book easier to read, but at the same time, the more complex sentences will challenge your young child's reading skills. The pictures are vibrant and adorable, with plenty of postive oranges, yellows, and reds shining through each page. The book does have a somewhat Christian undertone, although never actually mentioning God in the text - it only reads "Each second brings comfort and joy from above." A simple book at a simple price... and a good one to share with your children, in a time where the world may not be so thankful.

Every library and grade school should have this book !!

This book encourages positive feelings. It reinforces just how thankful we are to enjoy each day, and not take it for granted. It teaches awareness of our surroundings.I wrote a special note inside my childs book, and signed it. This book is a real keepsake.

Anything by P. K. Hallinan is Fabulous!

This book is wonderful. I give it as a baby gift any chance I get. It's one of those books that every child should have.

This book is a "must have" for every kindergarten teacher!

Hallinan's book does a wonderful job of introducing young children to the idea of being thankful for everything that is beautiful in our lives...not just material belongings. The colorful illustrations and simple text are always interesting to kindergarten students. The book can serve as an introduction to a Thanksgiving unit, a springboard to classroom discussions, and other classroom activities. I have used Hallinan's book as inspiration for my kindergarteners to help create their own class book "We Are Thankful." The students' book then goes into the classroom library for independent reading. You'll enjoy this one.

This book is a perfect way for your child to end their day!

My 4 year old son and I read this book 5 out of the seven night a week. He pretends the boy is him and he enjoys the different things to be thankful for. This book is a great way to show your children how beautiful and joyful our world is. We read this book before we say our prayers. My son now starts his prayers off by "I'm thankful for...."
