This book is for the very young, without much grasp of English as yet; there isn't a story but a rhyming, repetitive listing of what each family member is contributing to the feast. I love the illustrations of a 19th century family. However, please do not make me re-read this simplistic book over and over. I am done. This book is for the very young, without much grasp of English as yet; there isn't a story but a rhyming, repetitive listing of what each family member is contributing to the feast. I love the illustrations of a 19th century family. However, please do not make me re-read this simplistic book over and over. I am done. Mama, fetch the cooking pot. / Fetch our turkey-cooking pot. / Big and old and black and squat. / Mama, fetch the pot. / Daddy, make the fire hot. / Tend it so it's blazing hot. / Ready for the cooking pot. / Daddy, make it hot." So begins the rhyming text of this sweetly engaging Thanksgiving read-aloud, which offers a celebration of the family gathering and love that this holiday often brings. An extended family - parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles - each have their tasks in preparing for the big meal, as does the instructive narrator, who makes decorations. In the end, all gather together to feast, and give thanks for their blessings... As its sub-titled would indicate, Sharing the Bread: An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving Story is an old-fashioned story. At least, it is old-fashioned in the sense that it takes place sometime in the nineteenth century, and features older technology, dress and cooking methods. On the other hand, the love and family togetherness is by no means old-fashioned, and can still be found (I hope!) today. Author Pat Zietlow Miller's text here reads well, while illustrator Jill McElmurry's artwork, done in gouache, is absolutely lovely. Recommended to anyone looking for old-fashioned Thanksgiving picture-books that celebrate the customs and traditions of the holiday, rather than the story behind it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

I relate to it in many ways--family working together to make a delicious meal happen! I love how it is told in rhyme, how everyone plays a part. It's written with much repetition as well which encourages children's involvement.
I think I want to add this one to my collection ( )
