The Thanksgiving Treasure

As a teacher, mother,and grandmother, I can't say enough about Gail Rock's The Thanksgiving Treasure. It is a beautiful story that touches the heart, and teaches lessons of love, tolerance, and family pride. There is much to be gained by reading this wonderful story with your child.

absolutely great

I have always loved "House Without A Christmas Tree" and "The Thanksgiving Treasure". I read the books over and over again as a child. My best friend and I would even pretend we were Addie and Carla Mae and get fall bouquets with cattails. I wish that I could order the books. I noticed that "Thanksgiving" is not available. I have 4 daughters and would love for them to read these and have the same wonderful memories that I have. I have "Christmas" video and I watch it over and over again during the season. Thanks, Gail Rock, for creating such heartwarming stories.

The Thanksgiving Treasure

This is a great book that teaches you that your enemies can be your friends. Not all of your enemies have to be your friends, but this teaches you some of your enemies can be your friends.I am 9 yrs old and would recommend it.Martin

book review

The thanksgiving treasure, by Gail Rock is about two people who are enemies for about two years. In the story a girl tries to get her father to be friends with his enemy. But instead of him becoming friends with the enemy his child becomes friends with her fathers enemy. This part of the story takes place before Thanksgiving happens. Then on Thanksgiving the girl wants to invite her dad's enemy to dinner but her dad says no. So she decides to take him Thanksgiving dinner which might be his last. When a man came to the girl's house he told her that her dad's enemy had left her a horse. The father didn't want the horse but the girl wanted it. There is another book that is a sequel to the Thanksgiving Treasure, that Gail Rock has done it is called the Christmas Tree. I liked the Thanksgiving Treasure because it teaches people that you could be friends with your enemies.
