Thanks for Thanksgiving - Written by Julie Markes and Illustrated by Doris Barrette
Thanksgiving is for Giving Thanks - Written by Margaret Sutherland and Illustrated by Sonja Lamut
As Thanksgiving is upon us, I would like to suggest 2 books to read over the holiday weekend with your children. The first is called Thanks for Thanksgiving. It is a lovely book with one sentence per page and easy rhymes that the kids will love to try and guess. The brightly colored pictures fill the pages and are a lot of fun to look at. Each page starts with "Thank you for" and then names something that kids would be thankful for. At the end of the book is a place for the child or entire family to write about what they are thankful for.
The second book is called Thanksgiving is for Giving Thanks. This book also has about one sentence per page but does not contain any rhyming. The sentences state what they are thankful for and sometimes adds why they are thankful for that item. These sweet illustrations show culturally diverse children enjoying the things they are thankful for.
Both of these books are good choices when talking to your child about thankfulness. Please let us know which book you liked and why - we'd love to hear from you!
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
I am so glad to have these Thanksgiving book recommendations! Unlike other holiday books, I have had difficulty finding a Thanksgiving book I like. Can't wait to pick these up at the library!
