Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and it's time to share some of my favorite Thanksgiving Turkey books. I have a feast of hilarious read aloud suggestions perfect for Turkey Day.

Are you ready for some hilarious turkey fun? These seven books will have you cheering on America’s #1 fowl and reconsidering your menu options on the fourth Thursday of November this year.

From relay races to clever disguises, this flock of desperate turkeys concoct elaborate schemes to avoid being the main course at Thanksgiving Dinner.

After each book suggestion, I’ve included the Amazon purchase link, a read aloud video link, and FREE or inexpensive activity links!

Bon Appetit!






Turkey Trouble

Book Blurb: Turkey is in trouble. Bad trouble. The kind of trouble where it's almost Thanksgiving . . . and you're the main course.

But Turkey has an idea--what if he doesn't look like a turkey? What if he looks like another animal instead?


After many hilarious attempts, Turkey comes up with the perfect disguise to make this Thanksgiving the best ever!

A Plump and Perky Turkey

Book Blurb: Turkeys around Squawk Valley just don't jump into pots anymore—they are way too smart for that.

So, the townspeople hatch a clever plan. They host a turkey-themed arts and crafts fair and lure a vain bird into town by advertising for an artist's model.

Peter the Turkey, proud of his well-stuffed form, takes the bait but doesn't fall for the trap.
