Do you know this book? It is a wonderful look at Thanksgiving - if you are a moose or a turkey! "A Turkey for Thanksgiving" by Eve Bunting is definitely a favorite of mine.
Mr. & Mrs. Moose are having their Thanksgiving dinner for all their friends. But what is missing is a turkey. Mr. Moose and his assorted friends set out to find a turkey and find him hiding in his nest surrounded by signs that say Do Not Disturb. Mr. Moose explains "We just want you for Thanksgiving dinner" which only confirms Turkey's fears. Never fear - Mrs. Moose wants him at her table, not on it.
And of course don't forget " "Twas The Night Before Thanksgiving" by Dav Pilkey. A humorous look at a field trip to the turkey farm.
"Turk and Runt" by Lisa Wheeler is another hilarious winner ... hmmm - strange that all these books are from the turkey's point of view. In this story Turk is the biggest and the best - but his little brother Runt knows that that is not necessarily good - around Thanksgiving!
