Excellent book
This book is an excellent way to explain death and dying to young children. It really can be used for any age group. It is a wonderful story. I work in a hospice and have used this book for young children and adults love the story.

Pilgrim's First Thanksgiving

Ann Mcgovern

My opinion doesn't matter - the kids love it
While I can appreciate the criticism some readers have offered on this book, I say the bottom line matters: my children love it. The simple text and nice pictures make the subject accessible for young ones. They take it off the shelf even when Thanksgiving is months ...

MY BOY LOVES READING IT

The result of relentless observation
I first read this book in High School. I was impressed but 8 years later re-read the book to my younger sister for a class she was taking. She wasn't getting much from the book. But as I read it to her, I realized how supreme this book is among American Lit. ...

Pilgrims

Satisfying indeed.
A friend's interest in Gilbert spurned me to read this short story collection, which I found very enjoyable. Gilbert has a way of creating a very vivid scene and situation, so as to wrap your interest around the characters promptly. Then, naughty as it is, she ends ...

The Story of the Pilgrims (Pictureback(R))

H.L. Ross

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1995

Kids don't even know they're learning history
I have been perusing children's books for historical events and people. This is a nice introduction to the Mayflower and the history of Thanksgiving. It gives enough detail that very young children will actually learn some history, yet it is short and to the point to ...

Oni Press, 2004

Rocks out as only canadians can...
Scott Pilgrim might just very well be one of the funniest and most enjoyable things I've read in the last five years. The pacing is swift, the dialogue is witty, the plot simultaneously familiar and mundane and also completely outlandish and awesome. The closest thing ...
