This was a disappointment to me as I was expecting a tale of thanksgiving from a Christian background. For those without this background this might be fine. The first page of the book starts out describing the evolution of earth, rock formations which leads to the formation of plymouth rock 1,000,000 million years ago. Something I didn't think necessary to include. I did not read any further than the first page as I knew from this that it would not be a book for our family as we don't tend toward Evolutionary thinking.

This book is beautifully illustrated, but very wordy. I thought it would be appropriate for my 4 year old but would be better for older kids. Not only because of the long text, but the book gives a lengthy history of settlers bringing disease that kills large numbers of Native Americans, something else I was not ready to cover with my 4 year old. Also, the book starts out describing the evolutionary processes that formed plymouth rock, a worldview I do not subscribed to.
