Summary
Summary
In this exuberant Thanksgiving story, a little girl goes on a last-minute errand for her mother. Along the way, she thanks all the familiar things she loves--her warm boots, the song of the birds, the pretty clouds in the November sky. And when she gets home from her errand, her family thanks her for what she has brought.
David Milgrim's spare, repetitive text and colorful, contemporary illustrations are perfect for beginning readers, and leave no doubt about how much there is in the world to be thankful for!
Notes

School Library Journal Review
PreS-After a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, a young girl walks through the snow to the general store to buy whipping cream for the family's pumpkin pie. As she walks, she gives thanks to various animals and objects that she sees. "Thank you, pretty clouds.- Thank you, park.- Thank you, snow people." The colorful digital-oil-pastel pictures are cheerful and incorporate lots of humorous details. The very simple, repetitive text, reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon (HarperCollins, 1947), will appeal to toddlers. Like whipping cream, this selection is nice but not essential.-Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Publisher's Weekly Review
A small-town girl on a mission to buy whipping cream for the holiday dessert occasions this visually playful outing. In blocky shapes and muted colors that recall the style of J. Otto Seibold, Milgrim (Cows Can't Fly) chronicles the girl's path from her home ("Thanks for sending me, Mom") to the general store and back again. Along the way, she expresses her gratitude for her "warm boots," a duck who returns the scarf she loses and a quartet of rabbits for their companionship. Despite the hokey premise, the scenery, taking in a family of snowpeople and houses of lavender and sage hues, conjures a postmodern winter wonderland. Ages 3-6. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
