Thanksgiving Books

imageOne of our family’s favorite Thanksgiving books is A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman (author) and Jeff Shelley (illustrator).  It’s been a favorite since my daughter Sara was 4 years old and we still read it every year for the fun and sense of tradition.

This book gives a turkey’s perspective on Thanksgiving using rhyming words and humorous phrases that capture the attention of your child and help to develop their imagination and their vocabulary.  On top of that, I love having family traditions that my children ask for every year.  These traditions provide a sense of security for our children that is priceless.

10 Fat Turkeys10 Fat Turkeys by Tony Johnston provides a rhyming experience that will have your children giggling and doing a turkey dance for the holiday. Rhymers make better readers, so enjoy playing with these rhyming words and consider making up your own verses as well.
