This is a fun book that would be a good way to start a history unit. It's rhyming pattern is catchy and there are some strong themes that will allow the reader to go deeper in their thinking.

Fun pictures. Engaging rhyme. Minor complaint I remember at time: Don't believe the Pilgrims knew exactly where they were heading to. Book implies that they did; believe it was named at the journey's end. Oh well - not so bad; having it there makes the reader glad. ( )

Easy rhyming text describes the voyage of the Pilgrims, their work in building a new home in America, and their celebration held in thanksgiving for a rich harvest.
