"Emma Had A Little Turkey" is a very cute spin on "Mary Had A Little Lamb," which turns into a turkey soccer adventure!

Adorable pictures for literally every line of the story, and an ending that will leave a smile on your face. My girls thought it was hilarious!

Since my son was born we have read "You Are My Cupcake!".  This holiday book in the same series is wonderful.  You are my Merry Little Christmas is a sweet and heartfelt Christmas board book.  The pictures are adorable and my son giggles as I read it.

My 4.5 year old and 1.5 year old both adore this book and will read it together over and over. The simple and adorable illustrations beautifully complement the brief text. My kids laugh hysterically at the end, where the turkey dives into the pool.

We read this book daily. It's just great.

Beautiful photography makes it a pleasure for for the adult as well as the child.  I don't tire of reading this book as I do with some other of my daughter's favorite books.  It makes a great gift.  We keep it with our "holiday books" that only come out after Thanksgiving so it's become a magical part of the holiday season.

This book is so cute!  I think it's very relatable to children, and has a very positive message.  The child narrator talks about being thankful for his head, arms, hands, body, etc.  He talks about many feelings that children have during the day, and about feeling happy and thankful to be part of our wonderful world and universe.  I checked this book out from our local library and loved it.  My two young boys loved it as well.  I highly recommend it.

My kids and I have enjoyed this book, exploring our country's holidays and why we celebrate.  The text rhymes and is a delight to read aloud.  My kids loved the cute illustrations, very heart-warming characters.  I enjoyed how the illustrated characters were placed over black and white photographs of past holidays.  My children range in age from 3 through 7, and the book was appropriate for all these ages.  There is also a section in the back for children to add a pic and text about their favorite holiday, their traditions, and memories of gifts given and received.  Great to extend the holiday discussion.  Look forward to seeing more from this author and illustrator.

I go all out for Fall decor. This was adorable and had to have it for our family thanksgiving dinner at my house this year. It got rave reviews. Would be really cute to put a small plant in too.

We have so many things to be thankful for in our lives, and as we approach Thanksgiving I'm trying to teach my preschoolers about gratitude. As I often do, I first turned to a book to start the conversation on giving thanks. I've discovered a wonderful new book on gratitude for children, Thankful by Eileen Spinelli, illustrated by Archie Preston. We absolutely loved this book! It is lighthearted and fun, and captures the wonderful things that we should be grateful for in every day life.

Thankfulis written with a simple rhyming cadence that is easy to read aloud and enjoyable for preschoolers. The illustrations are whimsical, capturing the colors of Fall as they follow a family who is thankful for the small blessings of each day. With examples like, "the doctor is thankful when patients get well," Thankfulpresents gratitude in a way that very young children can understand.

My preschoolers truly enjoyed Thankful. It provided an opportunity for us to talk about appreciating things we encounter each day, and to remember our blessings. It is a perfect Thanksgiving themed children's book but since it is not focused on the holiday, it is a great read any time of year.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review through the BookLook Bloggers program.

This is one of the cutest children's books! Melissa Sweet brings to life the story behind the Macy's Parade and the history of the man behind all the work. The story begins with a little boy, Tony who has big dreams to make marionettes. His dreams no only come true but they bloom as he is challenged to make those marionettes bigger and more spectacular.  What I enjoyed most about this book is the historical aspect behind what has become a favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition.  The artwork within the story is phenomenal and accompanies the story line perfectly. It reads like a scrap book and it is easy to follow along and enjoy.  While originally purchased for my toddler granddaughter who loves balloons and because I adore great illustration, it's more appropriate for grades 2-4.

One of our favorite new bedtime books is Thankful by Eileen Spinelli. It's a poetic children's book with whimsical illustrations. The purpose of the story is to make children aware that there's always something for which they can be thankful and it teaches them to find joy in life's day-to-day. It's a simple, rhythmic tale that continually reinforces its message so that toddlers and young children can begin to learn from it.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I want to start teaching my sons the true meaning of the holiday and I am using this book as a tool to help me do just that. The message is clear and concise so I don't have to worry about confusing my little ones. I do wish that there was more of an underlying theme of faith but God's Word is mentioned once and the concept of thankfulness is something that is well rooted in Scripture. The illustrations directly support the text and they keep things entertaining and fun for my toddler.

As a mom, as a reader, as a women trying to teach faithfulness and thankfulness to others, I would recommend this book.

This book was given to us when our son was born almost two years ago. I later bought a copy for my sister as well. Last year I couldn't find it after the move, and this year my almost-four-years-old daughter is just beginning to understand the rudimentary concept of a holiday for thankfulness.  As I have explored this book with her, I am so excited to share the heritage of the Pilgrims and the true story of God's providence in that epic adventure.  I can see this book being used year after year for many annual remembrances.

One fantastic feature of the book is the way it is organized.  There are two sizes of fonts, and the larger font is the "abridged" version for smaller children or a shorter time frame.  Reading both sets of fonts gives the expanded story, and additionally there are sidebar articles to further deepen the information.

And the book is beautiful!  I keep mine displayed on our mantle, and the outside is just a glimpse of how lovely the inside is as well.

Another unexpected bonus is the music CD which is included.  I listened to it for the first time this month, and was delighted by this stately set of piano renditions of Thanksgiving, harvest, and praise hymns and songs.  It has been played many times since and will no doubt accompany the festive food preparations this Thursday.

I have the author's Thankgiving book and loved it so I had to get the Christmas one.  I haven't made any recipes yet but there are a lot of great twists on traditional favorites!  The book reads just as easy as her Thanksgiving book.

I did bou this book used and the quality was great and the shipping was much faster than I anticipated!

This is an adorable book. It takes some of the Daniel Tiger episodes and puts them into short stories. Just like the show, it has vibrant pictures to keep your little ones attention. Overall, my daughter loves this book and its good quality. Cute gift idea.
