Other editions of book Thanksgiving Day

After listening to their teacher read a book about the first Thanksgiving, these students put on a play. From the tired Pilgrims making their way in a new land to the Wampanoag who greeted them kindly, each student has a role to play and a reason to be thankful. With its beautiful pictures and accurate depiction of events, this is a great way to introduce children to the meaning behind our Thanksgiving celebrations. Readers will find out the origin of the turkey, cornbread, and cranberry sauce that are part of the modern Thanksgiving meal, and why many people invite family, friends, and neighbors to share their feast. This is an informative and inspiring story that's a great choice for reading during the holidays.

Thanksgiving is almost Here! It's time for Mrs. Madoff's class to put on the Thanksgiving play. Charlie is the ship called the Mayflower, Sarah is a Pilgrim, and Eveline is Chief Massasoit. Everyone has a role to play and a reason to be thankful for the special things that made the first feast possible. The story of the first Thanksgiving is one we'll never forget -- especially when we have friends and family to celebrate it with year after year.

For the class play, Charlie is the ship called the Mayflower. He says, "I told how I was thankful that I tossed and rolled, and tossed and rolled some more, but didn't sink in the big waves far out at sea." In this early-picture-book companion to Show & Tell Day and Halloween Day, mother-and-daughter team Anne and Lizzy Rockwell celebrate the spirit of friendship and giving that started with the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people on the first Thanksgiving Day.
