Arthur’s Thanksgiving is a cute picture book chronicling Arthur’s adventures as he directs the class Thanksgiving play. Brown’s narrative is enjoyable for children. The author always does a wonderful job relaying the story without unnecessary text. That balance allows young readers to stay focused and engaged through the entire story. Brown’s illustrations are bright and cheerful. Arthur and the other characters are drawn with lively expressions. Each character has a distinct personality with quirks, so kids easily relate to them.

This particular Arthur book touches on Thanksgiving traditions briefly, so it’s a perfect jumping off point for further reading or holiday discussions.
