Thanksgiving is a fun time with the preschoolers. It’s fun to learn about history in our class. Each year we have a “Thanksgiving Feast” (where the kids bring a food item to share with each other) and we “Dress” our turkeys (you can learn more about dressing our Turkeys HERE).These are some of our very favorite Thanksgiving books in our preschool classroom.

Thanks for Thanksgiving
Everyone knows that Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks—the question is, where to begin? From the turkey on the table to warm, cozy cuddles, life is full of small things and bigger pleasures. But what is most important is being able to share them with family!
Julie Markes reminds kids and adults alike about the little details that make each day enjoyable, while Doris Barrette’s beautiful and striking illustrations bring her thoughtful words to life.
Ten little Pilgrims and ten little Wampanoag boys and girls are getting ready for the harvest feast. In colonial Plymouth, the young Pilgrims hunt ducks and geese and dig up turnips and carrots. In a nearby village, the Wampanoag children dig for clams, fish for cod, and gather nuts and berries. Finally, it’s time for the meal. Turkey, cornbread, cranberry stuffing, pumpkin, and Indian pudding are all on the menu-yum! First, everyone gives thanks, and then it’s time to eat and celebrate. The simple, rhythmic text and autumn-colored illustrations are just right for sharing the history and fun of Thanksgiving with young children.
10 Fat Turkeys
This silly rhyming story about ten turkeys teaches children how to count backwards.
“Looky!” says a silly turkey swinging from a vine.
Gobble gobble wibble wobble.
Whoops! Now there are nine.

I hope you enjoy reading these to your kids! Have a great Thanksgiving!
I really enjoyed looking at the books you have for suggestions. Sometimes it is nice to have another momma’s recommendations because they are usually ones that are kid approved <3 Thanks for your help!!
