Review # 1 was written on 2019-02-25 00:00:00 Ashlee Middleton I was going to give this book 2 stars, but it mostly focuses on the journey over here on the 'Mayflower'. I didn't know or remember that there started out 2 boats, the speedwell, got a leak and had to turn back right as they left the bay. I wasn't too impressed with the artwork. It did not do much for me. It also didn't have any acknowledgement of these people invading someone else's land. They came and claimed. I mean, I know it's why we are here today, but I feel there can be a recognition that they were invaders and they took land. Anyway. It's the Thanksgiving story, simple as that. The story is long with several pages with no pictures and all words. This was not a popular book in our house. Unless its funny or something special, the nephew especially doesn't like a whole lot of words and a long story. The nephew gave this 2 stars and the niece gave it 2 stars as she thought some of the details were interesting, but mostly it bored us. There wasn't much fun that went with the history lesson.

Also a Caldecott award winner. My 6 yr old loved it. Lots of good information with beautiful pictures that will help keep children engaged. A great addition to any children's library.
