I love to have children’s books for different holidays…but Thanksgiving books are a bit of a challenge…since we are vegetarian. We didn’t want to have any books that involved eating turkey.
We have found quite a few over the years and I thought I would share them with you…..
‘Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey – One of my all time favorite books…I love everything about this book…its message, its rhyme and its drawings!
Five Little Turkeys – cute little counting book
The Tasty Thanksgiving Feast by Suzy Jane Tanner – a lift the flap book
Happy Thanksgiving Biscuit by Alyssa Satin Capucilli – a typical Biscuit book with a cute thanksgiving message
Thanksgiving in the Barn by Nadine Bernard Westcott – a popup book that celebrates Thanksgiving in a barn..very cute
Thanksgiving Cats by Jean Marzollo – simple little book
A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting – a nicely illustrated book that has a nice message. This book involves Mrs. Moose “wanting a turkey” for Thanksgiving..so Mr. Moose goes out looking for one…..at one point, when Mr. Moose finds the turkey and is chasing it…he stops the fallen turkey by putting his hoof on the poor turkey’s head..this I didn’t particularly like..especially because it is illustrated…. except for that…it is a cute book that has a happy ending for the turkey!
