Thanksgiving (Elementary)

Contributor's Form (list #138)

---

• Turkey Girl / Baker
• Sometimes It's Turkey, Sometimes It's Feathers / Balian
• How Many Days to America? / Bunting. (...the one I always use with fifth graders. It's very meaningful)
• Turkey for Thanksgiving / Bunting
• Visit to Grandma's / Carlson (1st grade)
• Cranberry Thanksgiving / Devlin
• Great Green Turkey Creek Monster / Flora (It has NOTHING to do with Thanksgiving, but I love to read it to whatever grade will listen. I find 2nd-3rd Grade really get into the story about the Great Green Hooligan Vine taking over the town of Turkey Creek. And it's so old that it's only two-color, but the story is sooo good and silly.)
• Ox cart Man / Hall
• I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie / Jackson (I'm using it with my K-3's today. When my clerk was almost falling off her stool laughing, I knew the kids would like it.)
• 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving / Pilkey (I love to use it with the kids. I also try to find copies of the artwork that he is spoofing ("American Gothic" and "Starry Night", etc.))
• One Terrific Thanksgiving / Sharmat (1st or 2nd grade; show the video)
• Thanksgiving at the Tappleton's / Eileen Spinelli ("for funny")
• Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter / Stanley (this is a leap, but it's feeding the hungry)
• Thy Friend Obadiah / Turkle
• Across the Wide Dark Sea: The Mayflower Journey / Van Leewen ("for serious")
• Meanest Squirrel I Ever Met / Zion
