My Thanksgiving Prayer
Customer Rating: 
Make this Thanksgiving special for your very little ones by sharing this book with them. It is a Thanksgiving prayer from a child's perspective. Written in rhyme, the verses give thanks for things children think about and can appreciate: food, family, and nature. The text is short and simple, with words and images children can understand and relate to.
Here's a sample:
Thank you, God, for birds that sing
and mountains standing tall.
For rivers, trees, and bumblebees -
Lord, you have made them all.
The illustrations in this book are painted with bright, bold colors and project a very child-like quality. Every double-paged spread, except one, contains a single picture. The other two pages contain three pictures that are painted to look like photographs. The book itself is a boardbook, cut roughly into the shape of a cornucopia.
What I Like: Everything. The shape of the book captures your attention since, as mentioned, it is shaped like a cornucopia. The bright illustrations, with a decidedly orange theme, are cute and heart-warming. With only two sentences on each page, youngsters won't need a long attention span to enjoy this book. And the fact that it's a boardbook will make it easier for little ones to turn the pages by themselves. This is a great book to introduce your youngsters to all the things we have to be thankful for.
What I Dislike: Nothing.
Overall Rating: Excellent.
Age Appeal: 4 and under.
