"Thanksgiving comes to a small dog in this story of the Mayflower settlers. From the first day of her arrival in Plymouth, little Verity is fearful; she dislikes the woods, she dislikes the ocean, and, above all, she dislikes Indians. It is only when Verity mistakes Samoset for a turkey that she learns the friendliness of the red man and loses her fear." -Kirkus Review
