This is a darling new board book perfect for Thanksgiving. Count on five little fingers what little ones are thankful for - family, food, friends, love and being me! Written in rhyme and illustrated with bright colors and warmth, this is a lovely little book to share with babies and toddlers at Thanksgiving time.

This book is great to read during thanksgiving and it allows students to think about what they are thankful for and what their traditions are for the holidays.

This is a little book, which sums up the Thanksgiving spirit clearly, with warmth and a tad bit of fun.

Shaped like a hand and fitting to the shape of a simple turkey, this tiny book screams Thanksgiving. It includes five basic things to be thankful for, simple things which center around family and being together. It's easy for the youngest to understand and recognize some of the situations, and sturdy enough to be tugged around with the request to be read over and over again.

The illustrations are colorful, simple and yet hold tiny details listeners not only will be familiar with but will point out (like spilled sprinkles, a dog begging for food at the table, or a falling-off hat). The ending brings it all home with a message of confidence and love.

I received a complimentary copy and found this book to be so short and sweet, that I'm leaving my honest thoughts.

This is a colorful little story with the theme of thankfulness and the Thanksgiving holiday, geared toward the picture book set.

Veg*n families note: The illustrations are cute, but it always saddens me to to see the contrast of the innocence of the happy cartoon turkey with the depiction of a turkey's body on the table. Veg families will be thankful for the myriad of other board books that present kinder traditions for the holidays.
