It’s a shame how much Thanksgiving gets lost in the rush to move onto Christmas. Our children need to learn about this important holiday and books for kids are a great way to introduce them to the traditions and the fun. Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving books for kids that you can share!

I love great books! I made a Thanksgiving book list for children too but mine were different! So many great books available. I am featuring your post on Creative K Kids this week (I am also commenting for TOTS as I am a contributor there.) Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party! I’ve pinned you post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board.

Thanks for these book ideas. I agree with you that Thanksgiving sometimes gets less attention nowadays, but I love this holiday and plan to read lots of Thanksgiving books to my grandchildren.
