Off to Plymouth Rock!

Mackall, Dandi Daley. Off to Plymouth Rock! Illustrated by Gene Barretta. Nashville, TN: Tommy Nelson, 2003.

Summary from the publisher’s web site

Told with the whimsical verse of Dandi Mackall, children will love to hear the story of the Pilgrims’ voyage and the Native Americans’ guidance that culminated in the first Thanksgiving. Gene Barretta’s warm, harvest tones and lively characters add the perfect touch to this story of discovery, compassion, and faith.

My Review

Dandi Mackall has written many excellent books for young people. Off to Plymouth Rock! is no exception.  In this book, she summarizes the story of the Pilgrims into short rhyming phrases. Gene Barretta illustrated the book with comical pictures which go beyond the text. Children will enjoy the rhymes and the funny illustrations. If you are looking for another Thanksgiving book for your collection, Off to Plymouth Rock! deserves your consideration.
