Thanksgiving feast for the eye as well as the brain

Dana Rau`s THANKSGIVING not only explains about the Pilgrims` first thanksgiving celebrations with the Native Americans, but with color photos and reproductions of paintings, attractively elaborates on its history as a holiday, its symbols, as well as different modern-day celebrations. Fullof facts, this concise, non-fiction picture book includes a vocabulary list, as well as an index and other resources for youthful researchers. While the text and length is appropriate for the suggested age group, the large print and colorful visuals make it fine for reading aloud to younger children. Rau should be commended for her excellent use of paintings, as well as her choice of photos which touch on the multicultural aspects of the USA.
