Click on the Pilgrim turkey to read a great interactive book about thanksgiving !
A short summary :
In 1621 the Pilgrims sailed on the Mayflower and landed in what is now Plymouth,Massachusetts.
The Pilgrims arrived cold and sick, and many did not survive, but a group of native people called the Wampanoag helped the Pilgrims.
Squanto, a member of the Wampanoag, taught the Pilgrims how to fish, hunt, and grow crops.
After the first harvest, the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag shared a three-day feast together,
which we now celebrate as Thanksgiving Day.
