A preview of Thanksgiving books for the classroom.
"A Plump and Perky Turkey " by Teresa Bateman is such a cute and funny book about a town that needs a turkey and the lengths they go to to find one. The town is sadly outwitted by the turkey and end up eating shredded wheat for thanksgiving. The illustrations will keep your studnets interested even though the story’s humor may be a little above their heads.
“10 Fat Turkeys” by Tony Johnston is a classroom favorite. It’s about as silly as a book gets and the children will have no clue they are actually learning about subtraction while listening to the crazy rhymes. This book will not explain the pilgrims, or talk about the Mayflower, but it will make your kids laugh! Very cute!
“The First Thanksgiving Day : A Counting Story” by Laura Krauss Melmed is a stunning gem of a book. The book has so many layers it will keep toddlers and preschoolers alike busy and engaged. The text explains the first Thanksgiving while counting 1-10 in rhyming poetry and the illustrations by Mark Buehner have hidden treasures, see if you can find them! 
"Thanksgiving is for giving thanks” by Margaret Sutherland is book that explains what Thanksgiving is, and gives lots of examples of things to be thankful for. The narrator is thankful for lollipops, a teacher’s encouragement, grandma’s hugs, and sunny days.The book as a whole is a valuable teaching tool about Thanksgiving.
