SUMMARY
Marlo Thomas has once again produced a joyful volume for children and the grown-ups in their lives. Reaching into the heads and hearts of our most acclaimed writers, artists, and performers, Thanks & Giving celebrates the best things in life -- family, friendship, giving, thankfulness, and love (and just for fun, a few of their opposites -- stinginess, bullying, ingratitude, and the occasional urge to stamp your feet and throw a fit).
This colorful collection of stories, poems, and songs will take readers on a lighthearted and thoughtful (but never overserious) adventure. You'll enjoy every step of the magical journey that the creators of Thanks & Giving have planned for you.
REVIEW
“Thomas has assembled a list of luminaries to write (or draw) about the title theme, including the biggest names in children's literature…as well as stars from the entertainment world…. this is an exceedingly handsome book with enough stories, songs, poems, and beautifully reproduced art to make it a worthy purchase--especially since the proceeds go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.”—Ilene Cooper, American Library Association.
