My worst book collection is my collection of Thanksgiving books. It’s pretty pathetic. That’s why I have nothing new to share this year…
So, check out these fun Thanksgiving books and activities that I’ve reviewed in the past!
Seven Blind Mice November 8, 2009
Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young
We found this at the library this week. I forgot how much I love this book. My kids read it multiple times a day! There are seven blind mice who come upon something at the pond. Each mouse takes a turn feeling what it is and reporting back to the others. The problem? They each only feel on portion of it: one thinks it’s a pillar; another thinks it’s a rope. Only until the last blind mouse explores the whole thing do they discover that they are all right! You’ll have to read the book to see what it is though! 
This book is just plain fun with amazing pictures (note the Caldecott award: award for pictures). The storyline is simple so it’s great for toddlers. It’s a good book for reinforcing counting and colors. It also teaches the days of the week, as well as first, second, third, etc. And I love that you can also discuss perspective.
