“An Upbeat Book of Thanks”

Thank You for Me!Help your preschool students look ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday by sharing my picture book Thank You for Me!As Booklist said in their review: “In this appealing picture book, a series of young children look at their bodies with admiration and give thanks for all the wonderful things they can do. Rhyming, colloquial verses express the children’s feelings of satisfaction: 'Thank you for hands and feet / that keep a beat, / for ears that hear, / and eyes that see. / Thank you for each bendy knee.' …The pictures capture the young children’s body language with precision and charm while showing plenty of familiar activities that toddlers and preschoolers may want to stop and talk about. An upbeat book of thanks and a celebration of self.”
