Getting into Giving Thanks

This month is cut a week short for the Thanksgiving holiday break so I have three perfect books to read to get your kids in the Turkey Day spirit.

Thanksgiving for Emily Ann by Teresa Johnston is SO cute! It's about a little girl who is not liking having to share her home when family comes to stay for the holiday, so she gets a little mischievous.

I'm no Turkey by Hans Wilhelm is such an easy read but the kids love the silliness each page holds!

This Is the Turkey by Abby Levine is the picture perfect traditional Thanksgiving until something goes wrong and the turkey that has been cooking all day slips off the plate!

The moral of this story is that we are grateful for everything we have and even if we don't have everything we wanted or expected, there is still plenty to be thankful for. 

We get out tomorrow for a lovely week-long holiday vacation and want to wish you all the Happiest Thanksgiving! 

The Snatchabook and The Gruffalo

This week was recovery week from the book fair and of course our school was used as a voting site for election day so I was out another day for library this week. With in-class library and trying to get back on schedule, I picked two AMAZING favorites.

The Snatchabook is an adorable mystery by Helen and Thomas Docherty. Someone is stealing all the bedtime stories and it must come to a stop! Read along to find out who's the culprit and if the stories ever get returned to their rightful owners.

And of course, more Julia Donaldson splendor with The Gruffalo. Most of the kids had already read it but they didn't mind another round and Netflix also has a beautiful cartoon to go along with this one! In true librarian's fashion, we read the book first and then watch the 'toon! 

You cannot help but love this little brown mouse and the humor and picture are so delightful!
