Product Description:
"This Thanksgiving, set the mood with a story of gratitude." — CHILD

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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful!
This book is terrific! The illustrations are awesome!
It actually gave us the idea for a new fmaily tradition for Thanksgiving -hiking with our kids - giving thanks to nature and everything around us. :-)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A beautiful book about being thankful for nature
The book teaches children to be thankful to animals, and inanimate objects of nature.

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."

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Pagan Book
This is not a book about being thankful for nature. It is about being thankful TO nature. The book teaches children to be thankful to animals, and inanimate objects of nature - not God. It would be helpful to the consumer if this book was labeled somewhere as a book of Paganism as this is not clear from the cover.
