Thank You, Thanksgiving (2003) by David Milgrim This is a very simple picture book that tells the story of a young girl running an errand for her family on Thanksgiving.

Touches of visual comedy (pink rabbits stare at a football on the multiple screens in the window at Marvin's TV) extend the book beyond its main idea and add generous warmth and energy to the plain words. The text, hardly more than "Thank you, park" or "Thank you pie with whipped cream," grows repetitious, but it works for the age group, and it is expertly supported by the extremely appealing artwork, which features precise, rounded shapes in flat yet vibrant colors, and exuberant and doll-like characters with dotted eyes and spindly legs. As a little girl tracks through the snow to get whipped cream for the family's pumpkin pie, she stops to express her appreciation to the things around her that have given her pleasure-the fluffy clouds, the rabbits in the park, and so on. Using Thanksgiving holiday traditions as a starting place, Milgram helps young children recognize the blessings in their daily lives. ![]()
