K-Gr 2—A young boy expresses gratitude for all the many blessings in his life in this kickoff to a new series for early readers. The child takes readers through his day as he helps with making Thanksgiving dinner, visits his firefighter father at work, participates in the community Turkey Trot, and enjoys the warmth of his home with his extended family members. With cheerful digital illustrations that mirror the simple yet joyful text, this story offers early readers a gentle reminder to find joy and appreciation in everyday experiences.
VERDICT This is a good choice to add to holiday-themed beginning reader shelves. Two pages of stickers can be easily removed for library purposes.
