Nice rhymes, focuses on the everyday blessings.

This simple and easy-to-read picture book features different characters and what they are thankful for. There's the waitress, fireman, poet, pastor, and artist. All are thankful for something very different from their friends and family. This book highlights the many different ways there are to be thankful.

The Bottom Line: By featuring different things to be thankful for, this gentle picture book will inspire children of all ages to take part in a November Thankfulness Challenge. Preston's illustrations bring the text to life by conveying the rhymes and blessings. Enthusiastically recommended.

I think this book is good for the younger grades. It shows younger kids about many people from different walks of life, and what they are thankful for. I really like this book, because it has such a positive message, which is to be thankful even for the small things in life. ( )
