The Itsy Bitsy Pilgrim by Jeffrey Burton
1.0
I don't know why I expected a Thanksgiving book for toddlers with cartoon mice to be historically accurate, but when the Itsy Bitsy Pilgrim makes "friends" with the Indigenous [chipmunks?] and "invites them to play," I felt a little miffed.
I suppose there is no easy way to explain to toddlers that the Indigenous people only decided to help the Pilgrims after the Pilgrims raided their seed stores, desecrated their funeral offerings and their ilk enslaved and raided their villages for a century before their arrival.
