✎“…Rebecca Locklear takes you through ideas for a 3-day house party. The resource is loaded with ideas from harvesting and recipes, to games, drawing, crafts, song–and even learning how to bow like folks used to do. I particularly like the Deep Discussion Questions which address those divisive issues that come up whenever folks talk about the Mayflower landing and Native people. …Put joy into your Thanksgiving by taking a look at this book and adding a few new traditions.” ~Amazon customer

✎“There are many family-oriented activities in this resource. Plus, the information offers insight into the very earliest New England settlers, Native Americans and their relationships. My family and I appreciate the “look back” with cool recipes, games, and activities.” – Cindy

✎“I bought this resource so I could help my grandchildren (and their parents) learn more about the Pilgrims, the Native Wampanoag people, and the history behind the Mayflower landing and how the survivors celebrated the first Thanksgiving. As a descendant of Samuel Fuller, a Mayflower passenger, I knew very little about what happened in 1620 and 1621. The resource is full of clever and informative ways to enjoy the dinner in the way the Pilgrims did and learn a lot of history in the process. Children enjoy learning by doing, and certainly the recipes, dining table customs and Thanksgiving activities will be appreciated. Very carefully researched, with a lot of interesting detail. Great value for the price!” – Mary, parent
