Pooh’s and his friends discuss the things that they are thankful for-friends, family, gardens, homes, even bouncing. They share a meal together as they discuss their thankfulness for each other. Christopher Robin joins them and gives a vague description of Thanksgiving being a time to reflect on and be grateful for the special things in our lives. I liked reading a Thanksgiving story that focused on only the thankfulness part and didn’t include any of the often inaccurate Pilgrim story.
It's okay but the formatting is frustrating because sentences go on to the next page. First a picture book you read aloud to your baby, it's just weird to read and pause read and pause.
Winnie the Pooh has set up a feast for his friends and himself to partake in. As they are getting ready to eat they decide to tell each other what they are thankful for. Everyone is thankful to have friends, but they come up with some other interesting things to be thankful for too, such as Owl being thankful for landing on his feet instead of his face, and Rabbit that seeds have the good sense to sprout in his Garden. I think it’s a cute story for children who like Winnie the Pooh to be introduced to the concept of Thanksgiving and what sorts of things people (and animals) can be thankful for.
I love that Winnie the Pooh's main idea in this story is being grateful. Him and all his friends think of the things they are grateful for before even knowing what Thanksgiving is! So many of us get caught in the routine of celebration and forget what many holidays are really about. Pooh and his friends share with children the wonderful truth that Thanksgiving isn't about the food or the celebration, but about being thankful for what we have!
I would recommend this book especially around Thanksgiving time to any K-3 child to remind them what Thanksgiving is really about. What a wonderful child-friendly reminder of all we have to be grateful for!
This is written very similar to the original Winnie The Pooh books. Kind of in confusing terms, and repetitive. As I was reading this my 3 year old granddaughter lost interest very quickly due to the story not making since to her. If she had been a teen then this book may have made since to her but be ware it is written like the original series and is confusing to young readers-listeners. The illustrations are that of what we are used to so this was nice for my granddaughter to sit and look through.
