This First Thanksgiving Day: A Counting Story

This First Thanksgiving Day: A Counting Story
by Laura Krauss Melmed

This rollicking counting story celebrates the very first Thanksgiving Day with vibrant illustrations and lively verse. Follow the Pilgrim and Wampanoag friends as they prepare for a great feast, and along the way look for the bold turkey on every page -- and for the very sharp of eye, there are all sorts of surprises hidden in the art!

“A refreshing look at an American tradition that reinforces the spirit of the holiday.” (Kirkus Review)

“Gaggles of round-faced children, some in Pilgrim outfits and others in deerskins, fill this rhymed counting tale.” (ALA Booklist)

“Lots of smiles and counting practice result in a super read-aloud.” (School Library Journal)
