It's November so it's time to pull out the my very favorite Thanksgiving books! Here is a list of my very favorite Thanksgiving books to read with my kids in a very particular order. I'll start with my very favorite books and share the books I would definitely recommend you get as part of your library!
Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving is a book I remember loving when I was a little girl. I have such a specific memory of reading it and thinking it was the funniest book. Now I love sharing it with my kids. It has such good rhythm and is so easy to read aloud. It follows a group of school kids as they take a field trip to a turkey farm the day before thanksgiving. As they learn about the fate of the turkeys, they take matters into their own hands.
A Turkey for Thanksgiving is such a lovely book that follows a moose who is searching for a turkey for thanksgiving and all of the friends that he picks up along the way. It's about gathering and friendship and coming together to celebrate and give thanks. I love it!
Franklin's Thanksgiving is just so sweet. I love the Franklin stories, the illustrations, the writing, the community, the cute woodland animals, it's all comes together to create a beautiful book to share! Follow along the characters as they prepare for a unique Thanksgiving without family and how they find friends to share it with along the way.
Sharing the Bread is a cute story about preparing the Thanksgiving dinner as a family and how everyone has a part to play in coming together to make a meal to share. I love the illustrations and the rhyme in reading it. Would definitely recommend.
Thanksgiving in the Woods is a cute story about a community and family tradition of taking their Thanksgiving dinner to a special spot in the woods. The illustrations are beautiful, and I love the storyline showing how Thanksgiving can be whatever you want it to be.
Thanks for Thanksgiving is a book about gratitude. It's a great book to start a conversation about all the things we can be thankful for, not just during thanksgiving but throughout the year.
Cranberry Thanksgiving is a fun old fashioned book. It was written in 1971 and gives the old fashioned vibes. While the storyline isn't my very favorite, the characters, the illustrations, and the vibes are fun and it adds interest to our bookshelf.
Thank You Sarah is kind of cool historical story about how Thanksgiving was going to be a little lost, but this women Sarah thought it was important and did her part to make sure that we continued to have a day to come together and give thanks for what we have. It's a unique book and I like to revisit it each year.
