Thanksgiving Books For Kids

I always try to pair what we’re doing with books that go along with the activity’s theme. Here are some great turkey books to consider:

10 Fat Turkeys

This hilarious picture book is a perfect read-aloud for the holiday season! With its rhythmic, rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, it follows the antics of a group of quirky turkeys engaging in increasingly silly antics atop a wobbly fence. The countdown format makes it both engaging and interactive, as kids giggle their way through the misadventures. It’s a fun way to build excitement for Thanksgiving while teaching early math skills and reinforcing the joy of laughter in storytelling.
