Feast on these appetizing books & DVDs which introduce and educate your child about Thanksgiving and its history. Thanksgiving is an American holiday rich in history and traditions, and is the perfect opportunity to fill children's hearts with a deeper appreciation for what they have been given. Thanksgiving books and DVDs are wonderful tools to teach children about the spirit of thankfulness. While it is common for young children to want more, it is so important for them to be grateful for what they already have, and to remember others who are less fortunate. In the DVD, VeggieTales – Madame Blueberry (A Lesson in Thankfulness), Madam Blueberry seeks true happiness at the "Stuff-Mart" only to discover that, "A thankful heart is a happy heart." This theme echoes throughout many of these Thanksgiving books. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful and truly happy with our many blessings. Thanksgiving books also teach children the history behind this beautiful holiday. The characters and events in Thanksgiving books provide children with important historical background. For example, the story of the first Thanksgiving is a simple history lesson about the Native Americans and Pilgrims, their spirit of thankfulness and about the early days in the formation of our country. These topics will be explored at several levels of their school Social Studies curriculum. |
