Thank goodness for books

My favorite book about Thanksgiving is The Thanksgiving Visitor by Truman Capote.


Capote, Truman. The Thanksgiving Visitor. New York: Random House, 1968.

I also like
Gracias, the Thanksgiving Turkey.

It comes in English:


Cowley, Joy, and Joe Cepeda. Gracias, el pavo de Thanksgiving. New York: Scholastic, Inc, 1998.

And in Spanish:

Cowley, Joy, and Joe Cepeda. Gracias, el pavo de Thanksgiving. New York: Scholastic, Inc, 1998.

Daniel Pinkwater's Big Bob and the Thanksgiving Potatoes is another good one.

Pinkwater, Daniel Manus, and Jill Pinkwater. Big Bob and the Thanksgiving Potatoes. Hello reader!. New York: Scholastic, 1998.

(It only comes in English.)

"Happy Thanksgiving!"

or as Gracias the Thanksgiving Turkey would say (if he could talk):

"¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!
Glu glu."
