“Pilgrim Goody bakes a spice cake and the children come running in this glimpse of life in colonial times. Wolff brings the poem by Newberry medalist Carol Ryrie Brink to life with her bold, detailed, hand-colored linoleum prints. A rich vision of the past, especially for Thanksgiving” — School Library Journal

“Tinted with warm, golden colors, Wolff’s block prints seem filled with light. Thanks to Wolf’s homework, they convey an accurate and vivid view of daily life in a colonial community.”
