3.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite of the series, but still good
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2023

It's pretty good, but I don't love it as much as others in this series. We have "If Animals Said I Love You", "If Animals Kissed Goodnight", "If Animals Celebrated Christmas" and this one. I'd say of the 4, this is my least favorite. It doesn't flow quite as well as the others and my daughter just doesn't seem as interested in it. That's just personal preference though and it's just because I'm comparing it to the others. That said, "If Animals Said I Love You" is one of our all time favorites so be sure to get it if you're looking at this series of books!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Illustrated
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021
"If Animals Gave Thanks" shows animals working together to create a feast and giving thanks for everyday things. ⁠
⁠
"Squirrel would squeeeak for her tail she can puff up over her head—an umbrella or fluff." ⁠
⁠
"Skunk would hiss-hiss for her stinky spray."⁠
⁠
Highlighted words make the book a joy to read aloud using onomatopoeia. The darling illustrations make the animals seem so alive you want to cuddle them.⁠
⁠
If you enjoy "If Animals Kissed Good Night," you will love this book. It is sweet and helps remind us to be thankful for the little things each day.⁠

The story line is simple and paired with the cute illustrations may make this book better for younger children.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't follow the same rhythmic pattern I expected

We LOVE "If Animals Kissed Goodnight" in our house- it's a huge favorite. I was a little disappointed that this one doesn't follow a standard rhyming pattern, making it tough to read and not soothing for a bedtime story. It's cute, but not nearly as good as our favorite

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a fun book
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

I gave this to my grandson and was surprised when I read it. Its not a great story, the bear appears too many times and I think one of the animals is hoping to make a meal out of one of the others. Now, I know that's the circle of life but it was not fun to read.

This would be a fine book for a kindergarten level Sunday School class. The art is fine and the content weak.
