Kate's Book Corner - The Thanksgiving Edit

The Halloween Hangover is upon us but we're slowly trying to get into the spirit of thankfulness. Our Halloween decorations have come down and the small collection of Thanksgiving decorations have gone up. My husband is already in a festive mood...he loves Thanksgiving and is already working on his menu. Naturally, I am thankful for his cooking prowess but need something extra to get me in the mood. A collection of newly unearthed (from a bin in the closet) Thanksgiving themed children's books should do the trick!

We don't have quite as many Thanksgiving books as we do other holidays but these are our most treasured ones. We've read The First Thanksgiving flap book to all of the kids when they were younger. Thanksgiving Day is great for a bit of history of the holiday and Balloons over Broadway tells the true story of the puppeteer from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And for those of you, with kids in primary school The Great Thanksgiving Escape is the perfect maturity level for their sense of humor. Happy Reading!
