Thankful by Eileen Spinelli

Eileen Spinelli has done it again!  This a fantastic kid's book.  I found it a very unique "thankfulness" book.  The ideas and thoughts are ones children can relate to but not the common ones usually found in a thanksgiving theme book.  For example Spinelli writes:  The artist is thankful for color and light.  How unique is that?  And how about this thought:  The chef is thankful for plates licked clean.  Can't you just imagine a child laughing over that line?  The best part of this book is that each page features a brother and sister duo.  The chef is their dad!  The artist is the brother and so on.  Archie Preston illustrations add a depth of warmth to this already wonderfully love filled book.  I'm a kindergarten teacher and a grandmother and I plan to get this book for my classroom and my grandchildren!

I received this book free from the publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
