The pictures are great and the concept well done. My only problem with the book is the statement that Thanksgiving is celebrated on the last Thursday in November. The author also CORRECTLY states that Thanksgiving Day is the 4th Thursday in November. However, as witness this year, the 4th Thursday isn't always the last Thursday. 1426328478 Love this series 1426328478 For my Grandson 1426328478 The Holidays Around the World book was very well done. The photographs are beautiful. 1426328478
Thanksgiving is the original American holiday. When the Pilgrims sat down to give thanks for the hard won bounty of their new world, they continued a Native American tradition that would become a focal point in the calendar of all generations of Americans to come.
The author relates this holiday to the harvest festivals celebrated by thankful believers of many faiths all over the globe. The book's stunning pictures show the celebration in its historical and cultural aspects, and the back matter contains a delicious Thanksgiving recipe, a glossary, and a useful list of holiday references and resources.
Dr. Elizabeth Pleck gives readers, parents, and teachers an historical and cultural background to this unique American tradition in her informative note.
