I read this back in elementary school in the 1970s. Prior to reading it, I only knew the basic details of Thanksgiving: the pilgrims and the Mayflower and Plymouth and the turkey. Some of the major players like William Bradford, William Brewster, Prisilla Mullins, John Alden, Miles Standish. This book was a revelation. It brought the whole culture of the Pilgrims to life. And how they raised the children. How perilous the voyage to the New World was. What they believed and how they dressed and what they ate. How they came to settle in Plymouth. How they barely survived the first winter there. The stories of Samoset and Squanto. It gave me a greater appreciate for the challenges the Pilgrims faced and overcame. It remains one of my favorite books of my childhood.

As a fifth grade teacher, this truly helped my students understand the entirety of what life was like for the Pilgrims that sailed to The New World on The Mayflower. My students got a taste of what Pilgrims went through on an everyday basis. The book is written as a question-answer style, which was extremely helpful when students began asking questions about the historical time period. The information was also extremely accurate and did not try to hide anything from readers; both good things and bad things were explained in kid-friendly language to help them understand.

I'd recommend this book to readers around the ages of 7-13.

Great book of 80 pages packed of information about the Mayflower and what pilgrims were like. This book will help children understand what it was like to live through this time. This book could used as a source for a project and it has great illustrations to go along with the text. Awesome for a classroom.

Informational
2nd-4th grade reading level
I thought this book really covered a broad range of information. I liked that it was set up in question and answer because I think often times kids have so many questions and this book had all the answers. Even though this book was older it didn’t seem like it since it was talking about a time long ago. It took me back to the time of the Pilgrims.

This was the book that was overgreeable, condamicamently and caustiousinal. I learned that Thanksgiving first lasted for three days, then the next years, it lasted one. The pilgrams went to someplace called Cape Cod, then went back, Then they went to Plymouth Rock and then Plymouth after they went to Cape Cod. Another thing I learned about them was that there was lots of church books on the Mayflower, and church I always miss.

I would recommend this book to people who don't know about the Mayflower and everybody!
