The Gift of the Magi
 
Tapenum's Day: A Wampanoag Indian Boy in Pilgrim Times Photographs from the Plymoth Plantation historical site in Massachusetts, make this an unusually vivid visual presentation of Native American life. Especially meaningful to children because of the focus on a child's point of view.
 
Samuel Eaton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Boy Text and photographs follow a six-year-old Pilgrim boy through a busy day during the spring harvest in 1627: doing chores, getting to know his Wampanoag Indian neighbors, and spending time with his family.
 
Sarah Morton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Girl Text and photographs from today's Plymouth Plantation follow a Pilgrim girl through a typical day as she milks the goats, cooks and serves meals, learns her letters, and adjusts to her new stepfather.
 
First Thanksgiving Sticker Activity Book Dover products are terrific resources, and you can't beat the price!
 
Old-time Thanksgiving Stickers Your children could use these to make great placecards for the Thanksgiving table. If Thanksgiving is at Grandma's, you can tell her you're bringing them. Don't look for perfection. We've saved the set my 30-year-old daughter Jasmine made years ago, with the younger sisters adding to it each year.
 
Thanksgiving: A Time to Remember If you grew up in a nonChristian home and Thanksgiving was about parades, football, food, and getting ready for the sales the day after, this book will get you started on the road to a more meaningful Thanksgiving with a richer heritage to pass down to your kids.
 
Hymns Triumphant 1 & 2 I love hymns! If you've never gone to a church where hymns are a staple, you will find as you listen that they are full of faith and worship - much more substantial than praise choruses. Our family's been listening to this recording for years.
 
The Light and the Glory for Children: Discovering God's Plan for America A simplified version of the adult original, this thoughtful text details God's plan for America revealed in its history from Christopher Columbus through George Washington. Questions at the end of each chapter for family discussion. Will help you learn to tell the story to your children.
 
Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving Among many wonderful books about Squanto, this one stands out, showing clearly that the primary player in the Thanksgiving story was not a Native American or Pilgrim, but God.
