Although Harry has always enjoyed Thanksgiving because of all the great food, he begins to appreciate it more after his mother explains the story of the holiday and the meaning behinds its traditions.

Kindergarten-Grade 2 A delightful easy-reader that serves as an introduction to why we celebrate Thanksgiving. When Harry and his sister Emily, both cats, notice that several animals are searching for food, they decide to "be like the American Indians" and help them. They gather food for squirrels, birds, and chipmunks and put it out on Thanksgiving. They can hardly enjoy their own meal because they are so anxious to see if the animals have come to their feast. The type is large, the words are simple, and there is lots of repetition. The charming watercolor pictures are lively and childlike. The slight grimace on Emily's face while she is trying to put strings around pinecones points out her frustration. A story that will generate lots of discussion about the origin of Thanksgiving and how children can share the holiday with others. Edith Ching, St. Albans School, Mt. St. Alban, Washington, DC
