An Awesome Book of Thanks (2010) by Dallas Clayton
This self-published book has delightful rhymes, fun and unique illustrations, and a positive message. An Awesome Book of Thanks points out all the things we can be grateful for in life, from the “ocean deep” to the “desert dry,” but also for goofy things like “alligator acrobats.” One page shows us in pictures all the little things we may forget to be grateful for—mailboxes, hangers, fire hydrants, lamps, etc. The author also reminds us that even “bad things” can turn out to be good. This book is engaging, simple, and silly with a positive message. We love reading this book and remembering to say “Thank You” for all that we’ve got.
(This could be a good book for Thanksgiving.)
