The format of asking pertinent questions, such as "Were the Pilgrims strict?," and answering them make this a nice book to share with children. (I even learned a lot.)
Set up in question form, this book is manageble if taken one small chunk at a time.
Even though there is not many pictures, this books provides a lot of accurate information on the Harvest Celebration of 1621. What I like about this book is that it is divided by questions. Students do not have to read the entire book, but can look for a question that they want answered. This book would be useful tool for older elementary grades researching the Harvest Celebration of 1621.
We are studying the origins of Thanksgiving, and therefore also the Pilgrims, in school during the month of November. And WOW it has so opened my eyes to all that was suffered to give us a free country! I hope it can stay that way. This is one of the books we are reading for the month.
