The First Thanksgiving is a sweet board book with flaps about the first Thanksgiving the Pilgrims celebrated in America. This Thanksgiving flaps / picture book is meant for little ones who will be celebrate Thanksgiving for the first time too.
Even though the reality was and is very different from what is described in this board book, this Thanksgiving book is made for children aged +/- 3 to 5 years old. Do not expect an acurate lesson over the beginning of American history, you will be disappointed..
For the age group, this is a brightly coloured read-aloud book. It is about helping each other, celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and having a nice meal together. With lots of fun flaps to open with sweet pictures behind them. We can only hope that someday this interacial celebration could some day be reality.
2 stars for The First Thanksgiving, from the little listeners and their readers!
