About the Author
B.G. Hennessy grew up in Wantagh on Long Island, NY. At the University of Wisconsin in Madison, she majored in fine art and learned how to design, print and bind handmade books. She also took courses in Children’s Literature. The combination of form and content in the picture book format fascinated her and after graduation she headed for NYC where she worked for 17 years in children’s book publishing as a designer and art director. She is the author of Road Builders and The First Night, as well as many books starring Corduroy, the loveable toy bear created by Don Freeman. She now lives with her family in Arizona.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2 Using the "one little, two little, three little" format, pilgrim youngsters are shown engaging in a variety of activities such as caring for a pig, gathering eggs, and writing letters on a slate. A larger illustration shows the 10 pilgrim boys and girls in a village scene. A similar pattern is followed for Wampanoag children who are shown separately gathering sticks, paddling a canoe, and gathering berries, with all 10 together in their village. The following pages alternate between the communities depicting everyone with a job to do. Finally, it is time to celebrate and Wampanoags and Pilgrims gather along with one big, two big, three big turkeys for the feast. The children are shown jointly preparing the meal, giving thanks in prayer, and eating. The tone is one of cheerful teamwork and no mention is made of the hardships of the era. Cartoon-style paintings create a playful mood. The author's note gives further details about the food that might have been eaten at the harvest celebration, but it is sometimes difficult to match the descriptions with the foods illustrated. The short, simple text and counting aspects make this dual-perspective account enjoyable to young children. Adele Greenlee, Bethel College, St. Paul, MN
