My First Thanksgiving by Tomie dePaola

Happy Turkey Day Kiddos! What are your plans for Thanksgiving this year? The Husband, The Boog and I decided to celebrate Thanksgiving as a trio this year, forgoing all of the hustle and bustle that ensues for most families. So far so good! On that note, I thought I would share a Thanksgiving book from Mr. Tomie dePaola.

Written and Illustrated by Tomie dePaola

"This is the first Thanksgiving."

"The Pilgrims had a feast to thank God for their being together in their new home."



"Their friends came with food for the feast."

"We celebrate Thanksgiving every November.

We will eat turkey with stuffing,

cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes,

pumpkin pie, and mince pie for dinner."

"Just like the Pilgrims,

we give thanks for our food

and for our being together

on Thanksgiving."



Whatever it is you do for Thanksgiving, I hope it's spent with those you love best!
