Run, Turkey, Run! by Diane Mayr (2007)

The day before Thanksgiving, Turkey tries to disguise himself as other animals in order to avoid being caught by the farmer. Great for toddler or preschool storytimes. "Run, turkey, run!" is repeated throughout giving a great audience participation device. Onomatopoeia throughout making this picture book tons of fun and phonologically aware. Artwork is simple, yet vibrant and expressive. A twist at the end will give the preschoolers something to think about. My favorite outcome. A Thanksgiving must!!

One is a Feast for Mouse by Judy Cox (2008)

Everyone in the house is napping off their Thanksgiving dinner, including the greeny-eyed cat, when Mouse ventures out of his hidey hole to investigate the leftovers on the dining room table. Starting with a single pea, Mouse's eyes grow bigger than his stomach , not to mention his grasp. He collects more and more food and then attempts to carry his feast back home. As his stash grows in size, Mouse's grasp of the situation becomes more and more precarious. Great flannel story! Lots of excitement as Mouse's meal towers above him. Ages: Preschool+
