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

. . . 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!
