In this alphabet picture book, author Laura Crawford brings the Pilgrims' story to light by balancing classic Thanksgiving themes with clever lessons about the Pilgrims' trials and triumphs. Noting American ideals like 'F is for freedom' alongside the realities of Pilgrim life, such as 'H is for hardship, ' as well as teaching geography ('A is for Atlantic Ocean'), cultural facts ('W is for Wampanoag tribe'), and historical names ('M is for Miles Standish'), this book is a wonderful vocabulary builder and a fun way to pass the Pilgrims' story on to another generation.
