Editorial Review:

The Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving lasted three whole days. Ann McGovern's simple text introduces children to the struggles of the Pilgrims during their first year at Plymouth Colony and the events leading to the historic occasion we celebrate today.

Rating: - The Pilgrims' First Thanksgiving

The book seemed more appropriate for children who are older or can read to themselves, my 6 year old loved it!
