We’re Thankful for Books


We know kids love Thanksgiving (with so much delicious food, plus football, family and a fancy big parade, what’s not to love?) but it’s nice to share the meaning behind the holiday-in addition to your famous pumpkin pie. There are tons of great books about Thanksgiving for kids of every age and reading level; for young kids, we love "The First Thanksgiving: A Lift-the-Flap Book," from award-winning author and illustrator Nancy Davis, which features bright and engaging photos and accessible text; for older kids, Susan Sloate’s "Pardon That Turkey: How Thanksgiving Became a Holiday" is a fun and education read; and tweens will love Fran Manushkin’s "Katie Saves Thanksgiving," a short chapter book that regales readers with Katie Woo’s holiday mishaps. All available at Amazon.com.
