Uncle Rick`s Thanksgiving Collection CD's

The real meaning of Thanksgiving has largely been forgotten in America. But the Pilgrims who settled Plimoth colony in 1620 knew that only the power and mercy of God had kept them alive and provided them with a good harvest. This three book collection will take you back to the difficult, desperate days of early Plimoth and show why the Pilgrims invited their Indian friends to the big feast of Thanksgiving. Included in the set are: 

The Story of the Pilgrims for Children:

This book about the Pilgrims written in 1918 seeks to write an accurate history of the Pilgrims which could be vouched for by Governor Bradford`s history. The author has written with the goal of personalizing true accounts for small children, adding conversation as is fitting to still represent an accurate general impression of all involved. Although he writes for small children, the story is very fitting for young children to listen to and up through junior high to enjoy.

 Uncle Rick Reads Little Pioneers:

What an adventure!  Barely a hundred brave souls boarded a tiny ship and set across the stormy Atlantic to build a new nation based on God’s truth.  Arriving months later on the barren shore of a wilderness they called New England, these pioneers had to build their own homes, grow and hunt their own food and somehow survive bitter winters and summers full of toil and danger. 

Uncle Rick Reads Stories of the Pilgrims:

This read-aloud book about the Pilgrims begins in pre-voyage Holland and engages the listener in the lives of personally named characters aboard the Mayflower. Two children are born enroute and the plot is not missing its better known characters like Squanto. It ends with a special focus on the origins of holidays and spiritual traditions. The book was first published in 1910 and still holds a special attraction for children of all ages. Uncle Rick reads the book in his traditional fashion, interjecting character comments along the way.
