Thank You Book, written by Mary Lyn Ray, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This book is a nice add to the collection for young children. It follows a group of friends including children, with gender and racial diversity, and anthropomorphic animals going through scenarios of daily life. Each scenario such as watching the sun rise, playing outside, reading books, splashing in puddles and eating with family are all things for which to be thankful. The author demonstrates being thankful for big events and little events in a very nice way that young children will understand and appreciate. The illustrations by Stephanie Graegin present the activities and events to be thankful for in a great way for young children. Recommended.

Straight Talk for Librarians: This book will work very well in a discussion with young readers on being thankful.
