The Thankful Book

We have many of the Todd Parr books, and I just love the positive message in all of his books. My son is 7 and still loves them as well. The illustrations are very different from any author illustrator and the multi-colored people and body parts make for a wide interpretation of the words on the page. The books are simple and short, but we come back to them over and over again. I highly recommend this one, which focuses on being thankful for different aspects of life.

Now, a retired kindergarten teacher, I first ran into a Todd Parr book by accident. The title: The Dos and Don'ts of Underwear.It became the most requested book in both sections of kdgn. The kids loved the book and laughed out loud everytime I read it. His style and kid-like drawings were a hit. I now have/own all of his books and just recently bought: The Thankful Book.It is delightful and ALL can relate to the subject matter. I have given away numerous copies of The Grandma Book and TheGrandpa Book to friends having their first grandchild. Don't hesitate! All of Todd Parr's books are GREAT and a starting pointfor discussions and writing a book of your own!

"Another great book by Todd Parr, The Thankful Book is full of beautiful bold colors that attract the attention of people of all ages. The book simply takes the reader page by page on a journey about things to be thankful for. Some of the things are funny some are thoughtful and they are all on the money. It makes people think about their own things to be thankful for that maybe outside of the normal ones we think about. This book will be useful for art, and writing projects for kids of all ages.

Love love love all of Todd Parr books!

Very cute, silly and can evoke great conversation! Our 4 year old granddaughter stopped her mom after the first page and asked her what she was thankful for! The words are few but it's a great theme and important to remember gratitude!

Great book for 1-5 age.

I detest the irrational colors of this book. But my 3-year old thought this book was fantastic, especially after he saw a picture of the author’s dogs on the back and learned one was named Tater Tot. We didn’t put this book away until Christmas. The message is great. Just those colors...ouch!

Cute book for preschool aged students. I like that it includes all kinds of things to be thankful for with colorful and engaging pictures. Simple story line with matching and imaginative pictures.
