Silly Tilly’s Thanksgiving Dinner
An I Can Read Book (Level 1)
Silly Tilly is an absentminded but kind hearted mole. She wants to have her friends over for Thanksgiving dinner, but she forgets where she put the invitations. When she finds them, she asks her friend Mr. Bunny to give them out. Before she can find her misplaced recipes, she forgets about making dinner. Fortunately, the “invitations” that went out were each a favorite recipe she had saved from one of her guests, so on Thanksgiving they show up with that dish to share.
Amelia Bedelia Talks Turkey by Herman Parish
An I Can Read Book (Level 2)
Amelia Bedelia and Cousin Alcolu stop by the local elementary school to drop off a pumpkin for their Thanksgiving pageant. When she finds out they are in need of a director for the pageant (the other one is sick), Amelia quickly jumps in to help out. As a result, there are many hilarious incidents from Amelia’s perpetual literal and narrow understanding of words (which is also a good teaching opportunity for parents and teachers). Her unique perspective makes a hilarious, one of a kind pageant. 
The Know Nothings Talk Turkey by Michele Sobel Spirn
An I Can Read Book (Level 2)
The foursome read about holiday traditions which results in them planning a parade and serving a turkey dinner. When the Know Nothings decide to have a Thanksgiving dinner, it is any thing but ordinary. Children will enjoy this humorous take on the holiday.
