David, a boy who thinks modern Thanksgivings are boring, imagines being at Plymouth Colony and celebrating the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims.

Grade 1-3 David uses his vivid imagination to visualize the first Thanksgiving while he's preparing for his own. The school bus ride home fades into the arrival of the Mayflower, a trip to the supermarket becomes a wild turkey hunt, and to top things off he imagines the feast complete with a parade of 90 Indian braves to celebrate peace. Not surprisingly, David finds that he's dissatisfied with the present, which lacks the adventure of the past. Just in time, a chance encounter with his teacher helps him realize that he's got a lot for which he should be thankful, and the meal at Grandma's turns out just fine. The illustrations depict a suburban neighborhood giving way to the early Plymouth settlements, but the art is lackluster and stiff. This is a good idea that receives just average treatment.
