Book Reviews of Giving Thanks
Book Review: A beautiful book about being thankful for nature
Summary: 5 Stars
The book teaches children to be thankful to animals, and inanimate objects of nature.
True. And it's lovely. The illustrations are beautiful. A father and son take a walk through the woods near their house, and the father teaches his son to be thankful for all the things in nature that they see.
At the end, the son even says, "To me, it's a little embarrassing to say thanks to trees and things. But Dad says it becomes a habit; it just makes you feel good."
Each page is richly illustrated, with lush paintings, and just a few words per page, allowing the child (and parent) to enjoy the illustrations and message.
A beautiful book with a beautiful lesson.
Summary of Giving Thanks
A father passes on to his son the gift of seeing the beauty around him - and giving thanks.Thank you, Mother Earth.
Thank you, Father Sky.
Thank you for this day.
How can a young boy ever show his gratitude for all the beauty he sees? He will learn from his father, who thanks the earth and the sky, the frogs and the crickets, the hawk and the deer, even the trees that wave their arms in the breeze. Majestic as the most beautiful autumn day and filled with glimpses of favorite woodland animals, GIVING THANKS is truly a gift to readers from nature-lover Jonathan London and master painter Gregory Manchess.
