Everyone has a turkey for Thanksgiving. They’ll stop at nothing to get one and they’re all in on it but the turkey. Great books and excellent illustrations.

This book is a wonderful book for any age. The pictures are well drawn and the story is funny. I love the line "Turkey runs faster." I would recommend this book to anyone.

This book is about Thanksgiving. We all thought that this book was really funny. We learned that having friends is good. Our class learned some new words. The book told us what happens at Thanksgiving. Everyone one should read this good book.
This delightful book evokes the true spirit of Thanksgiving!

When selecting books for our children, I try to pick stories that will hold their attention, provide an important message, and involve animals and/or nature. Eve Bunting’s book A Turkey For Thanksgiving has all of these criteria - and more! It is also a good book for children who are vegetarians or vegans. In A Turkey For Thanksgiving Mrs. Moose is preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for her and Mr. Moose’s animal friends. However, this year she has decided that she wants a turkey for dinner so Mr. Moose, joined by his friends, sets off to find one. Eventually a turkey is found by the river and brought back for dinner. The terrified turkey is delighted, and relieved, to learn that he isn’t the main course, but a guest at this vegetarian feast! This delightful book evokes the true spirit of Thanksgiving. –Reviewed by Glenn Perrett
A surprising and heart-warming end!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Mr. Moose wants to make his wife happy by finding her a turkey for their Thanksgiving dinner. All the guests join in to look for the bird. The poor turkey is so afraid that he is reluctent to go with them. He (and we readers) find out in the end that they don't want him to be ON the table. Instead they want him to be AT the table to celebrate the holiday with them together. I like this book because its surprising and heart-warming ending. When I was told that TURKEY is a symbol of Thanksgiving, I used to think "Of course, turkey is the main dish in our Thanksgiving dinner". Now I have discovered the new meaning of Thanksgiving.
GREAT STORY FOR VEGETARIANS

Savior the Moments
Published by Barbara Hagen • November 24, 2021
As we prepare for Thanksgiving, I'd like to highlight the idea of Moments. Moments are those split seconds of time that happen and to which we often don't pay much attention. Moments are fleeting. They are very often overlooked. This Thanksgiving, as we gather with our loved ones, I would like to encourage us pause and take in the moments of the day.
