Publishers Weekly

Putting readers in the audience of a school play, cartoon children enact a rhyming ABC Thanksgiving story, dressed in the clothing of the colonists and Native Americans and set against a backdrop of scenery and stage props. Along the way, the kids aim to set straight certain myths: I is for Indians/ But that name's not quite right./ We're the Wampanoag tribe, / or 'People of the Light.' But on the whole, this is a breezy book about celebrating: Y is for yummy./ We share this great food/ And rejoice all together, / What a wonderful mood! Ages 4-8. (Aug.)
