Kiddie Thanks

Thanksgiving is this week for all of us USA folks and that means food and family.  For a lot of families this also includes kids of various ages.  This of course leads to the annual fight over the TV between the big boys and girls who want to watch football/Macy's Parade/Turkey Zombies of the Undead and the little boys and girls who just want to watch that same episode of Dora the Explorer for the 100th time!  Here are some books that will hopefully keep the kiddies entertained while us big kids fight for the TV :-)

What Is Thanksgiving?

This is a nice way to show the kids a quick history behind the holiday

Five Silly Turkeys

Silly counting songs involving turkeys

Balloons Over Broadway

The parade is the real meaning of Thanksgiving :-)

Fancy Nancy

I love love love Fancy Nancy...I might get this book for me

Curious George

No bookshelf is complete without our favorite monkey

Hopefully these will keep the kiddos (or you) entertained long enough to drag out the old 22 inch tv and hook it up in the guest room, or maybe this year we can skip TV (after the parade of course) and just snuggle and read to each other while sipping sparkling cider and sneaking into the kitchen for left overs.

What is your favorite Thanksgiving story?  Do you have a full house, or is it pretty low key?  Do you lock yourself in the bedroom so you can finish Turkey Day of the Dead before dinner?
