Used this with several classes. Nice, rhyming story and several nuances in illustrations. Great to use with students projected on a white board.

I love that Spinelli focuses on small, every day things that people are thankful for. Archie Preston's illustrations are light and playful; a fantastic fit for the story. Full disclosure: This book is published by Zonderkidz, an imprint of Zondervan, so there is one page that readers: "The pastor is thankful for God's loving world."
