She examines numerous Thanksgiving claims which were antecedents to the national holiday we celebrate today, raises the turkey questiondoes everyone eat turkey on Thanksgiving?and shows Sarah Josepha Hale's instrumental role in establishing the holiday. Get ready to delve into the rich past of Thanksgiving in an enlightening history that uncovers the true story. Thanksgiving is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Mehso-so

2008. I find this book very interesting. This book gives you a full run down of how thanksgiving came about. This gives students the change to understand their background.
