Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-Parr explores the idea of gratitude in this picture book: "Every day I try to think about the things I am thankful for." Those "things" include personal characteristics-"I am thankful for my hair because it makes me unique"; music- "because it makes me want to dance"; nature, and so on. Readers are sure to get a laugh out of the notion of being thankful for underwear-"because I like to wear it on my head." Parr's signature illustrations employ bold outlines and bright colors and feature an array of characters both human and animal. The theme is ripe for discussion and lends itself to extension activities in which readers create their own "I'm thankful for" pictures. Pair this book with Mercer Mayer's Just So Thankful (HarperCollins, 2006) or Greg Foley's Thank You Bear (Viking, 2007) for storytimes filled with gratitude.-Stacy Dillon, LREI, New York Cityα(c) Copyright 2011.

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!

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2013

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.

This book is super cute and sweet. My 2-year-old loves the rich, bright illustrations. When we get to the pages about hugs and kisses, my child gives me a hug and kiss. I hope we enjoy this book for years to come!

Shared this with my grade 3 students and they loved it! Todd Parr is an excellent author and illustrator with books that are modern, and also handle different contemporary situations in a very mature way, such as same sex marriage, single parents, and other unique situations. Very impressed with his tact.
