Thanksgiving Book Great For Your Child's Self Esteem! :D

POLLYANNA's made up her mind that there's always something to be glad about, whatever situation she's in. Her attitude wears down nay-sayers and melts the most frigid of hearts...until she loses the use of her legs. She's converted the whole town, by then--but will she, of all people, abandon her beloved "glad game?"

If you're looking for a book to help children learn how to better manage their self-esteem, you definitely want to look into this one. Also, its theme of appreciation makes it a natural for Thanksgiving Day!

I read a little bit of it, saw scenes of the movie and it was good. The concept of her little game inspired me. Nice read. I suppose I should finish it I wonder why I've not.

fanfreluche says:

Not familiar at all with the book. I should check it out!

KimGiancaterino says:

I have the movie and have seen it dozens on times.

Ramkitten says:

I read this a LONG time ago, but I know I loved the story. And the film.

POLLYANNA is as relevant today as it was in 1913.

Sorry, not my cup of tea.
