We don't have a lot of Thanksgiving books, but here are the ones we do love from our collection:
The Night Before Thanksgiving
-- all the excitement getting all ready for the big day!
Thank You, Thanksgiving
-- a sweet, simple repetitious book that my little ones love:

My boys LOVE this one: Thanksgiving Rules
-- a kid’s perspective on how to get the most out of Thanksgiving day

A Turkey for Thanksgiving
-- the audio is adorable too. A bunch of animal friends want a turkey for Thanksgiving -- AT the table, not on the table.

and my favorite, favorite Thanksgiving book (and probably in my top 10 of all time):
Over the River and Through the Wood by Lydia Maria Child and illustrated by Brinton Turkle
There are dozens of versions of this book, get the one illustrated by Turkle. I found the best deal on Half.com

The pages alternate from beautiful color of family coming to visit and black and white of Grandma & Grandpa getting ready for everyone with the complete words from the song:

Oh, I love it.
What about you? Any great Thanksgiving books you’ve come across?

Oddly enough, I purchased Turkey Trouble from Amazon yesterday. I think my daughter would like Thanksgiving Rules, I just placed a hold at my library.
