Review Quotes
"Bolstered by warm watercolor cartoon illustrations, this book is a perfect delivery system for a wealth of knowledge about Thanksgiving, with the story suggesting that family and friends are the main things to be thankful for." -- ALA Booklist
"Elliott does a commendable job of including a great deal of information about Thanksgiving history into the story and in endnotes, including a bit of Wampanoag vocabulary and some guesses as to the menu of that first 1621 feast." -- Publishers Weekly
Praise for A String of Hearts: "The delightful title sets the tone for this sweet story of friendship. A lovely Valentine story about the real meaning of friendship." -- School Library Journal
Praise for A String of Hearts: "Munsinger and Elliott sensitively convey classroom popularity dynamics and Valentine's Day butterflies; the moment when Sam realizes that it's Mary Ann he really likes should touch even Valentine's Day grouches." -- Publishers Weekly
