You have picked a great grouping of Thanksgiving picture books! I honestly don’t think we have a single one. I’m going to have to rectify that!

Candlewick Press books are so beautiful and so well-done. I’m a sucker for kids books – my big weakness!

We are hosting Thanksgiving this year and will have 5 kids on hand, ages 5 and under. I think getting some new books to keep them entertained would be a big help!

What a great assortment of titles all revolving around Thanksgiving! The book list reminds me of my days as a teacher when I used to pull out a stack of books for each holiday to read to my class. I miss those days but it’s still fun to sit down with picture books with my kids and read holiday themed books even though their 8 and almost 11! I think there’s something comforting about cozying up with a great book!

Glad to know there are some good choices out there for the littlest kidlets who want to get into the Thanksgiving spirit! As you know, we go from Halloween to Christmas in the blink of an eye, and I’ve often struggled with finding titles that bridge the gap.

Misunderstanding aside, Harrison Ford is one of those guys who’s earned the right to say whatever the hell he wants. I will not question Han Solo/Indiana Jones/Rick Deckard.He could probably call my mom a whore and I’d be all, “Haha, I love you, Han! You’re so sa&tcsaic!r#8221;
