One Little, Two Little, Three Little Pilgrims by B.G. Hennessy

This is a cute picture book. It's not intended as an in-depth introduction to the first Thanksgiving, but with short, lilting lines, it captures the action, hard work, and enthusiasm of all the children helping prepare for the feast. It also has a nice notes-from-the-author section that goes into more explanation on what's happening in the illustrations. Altogether, lively and evocative, it does make a great first introduction to the historic event for small people. (Since it's a counting book, it can also become quite animated during a read aloud session. ;)) Definitely worth a look and/or picking up at your local library!
