Editor reviews
An accessible short introduction to the Thanksgiving story, its role in American history, its place in the pantheon of American values, and the controversies it has sparked. Performer Ellouise Rothwell's pleasant voice and precise enunciation compliment the gentle Americana-inflected music that plays in the background. This is a nice choice for older children who want to learn the history of the holiday, or adults who want to brush up on the meaning behind all the roast turkey and pumpkin pie.
