Introduce the youngest dinner guests to the joys of Thanksgiving and counting!
 
Count from one to ten on Baby’s first Thanksgiving. Made more special when you introduce the youngest of readers to a variety of colors as they experience setting the table, passing the peas, and a walk after dinner.

Celebrate the holiday with this colorful, delightful board book that will stimulate little brains and introduce basic counting skills. Everyone loves Thanksgiving and now little ones will be even more excited when they can read about Thanksgiving fun!
Barbara Barbieri McGrath has written over twenty books for children, including The Little Gray Bunny, The Little Red Elf, and many bestselling math concept books. After graduating from Lasell College with a degree in Early Childhood Education, Barbara opened a preschool where she taught 4-5 year olds for sixteen years. Her love for writing, children and making learning fun was the inspiration for her first children's book, The M&M Brand Counting Book, which sold over 1 million copies. She lives in Natick, Massachusetts. View titles by Barbara Barbieri McGrath
Peggy Tagel's most often-asked question is, "How do you cut all those tiny pieces of paper?" The answer is, quite simply, her Magic Scissors. Working in a studio decorated with a huge collection of cookie jars, Peggy's colorful cutpaper illustrations have been reproduced for a variety of products, including cards, gift wrap, packaging, and stationery, as well as for children's books and magazines. She illustrated all seven books in the First Celebrations series. She lives in North Port, Florida. View titles by Peggy Tagel

McGrath uses the occasion of Thanksgiving to help readers count to six in this board book, which launches the First Celebrations series, along with Halloween Colors. After brief hinting at the holiday's origins ("The first Thanksgiving feast was long ago. This pilgrim is holding one ear of corn"), the book shifts to the present, as Mom places two cranberries in a bowl, three candles decorate the table, and so on. Tagel contributes crisp, blocky scenes featuring dot-eyed, doll-like characters, with plenty of attention devoted to the food associated with the holiday. It's a light diversion that should keep the very young occupied while the turkey is finishing up in the oven.
