Jack Prelutsky books are a big part of my childhood. IT’S THANKSGIVING reminds me of something I would have checked out of my elementary school library, and judging by its publication date, probably did. I no doubt would have giggled at some of the poems, but, as a child always sensitive to the treatment of animals, would not have been so amused by the dead turkeys hanging in the window on the book’s cover.
I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, I appreciated the nostalgia trip it offered a reader in her late 30s. I especially appreciated the poem about making Thanksgiving crafts in art class. At the same time, there are multiple elements in the book which are not as charming, knowing what I know now.
It goes beyond the cringe-y depiction of the first Thanksgiving. As might be expected from a 35-year-old book, there is no room for other traditions here. It’s all about eating turkey, turkey, turkey. There is laughter about how turkeys say “gobble” before they get “gobbled.” Worst of all, there is a poem titled, “If Turkeys Thought,” essentially blaming the birds themselves for their own fate.
Turkeys do indeed think, and they also suffer. It’s arguable that turkeys, along with chickens, experience the worst prolonged suffering of any animal in our modern meat industry. It’s a serious moral issue that holidays and tradition can’t excuse.
Is all of this a bit heavy to be laying on a children’s poetry book? Sure. But at the same time, children’s media play a role in how we are socialized and develop our values. It makes sense to talk about the messages that are being sent, and how to send them better.

Twelve brief poems about Thanksgiving are presented in this early-reader from author/illustrator team Jack Prelutsky and Marilyn Hafner. From the opening selection, "It's Happy Thanksgiving," which chronicles a young boy's experience of the holiday celebration at his Grandma's, to the final one, "Leftovers," which follows a young girl who is sick and tired to turkey this and turkey that, the selections here are lighthearted and humorous. Some seem a bit dated (the obligatory, and overly cheerful "The First Thanksgiving"), and others a little tone-deaf ("If Turkeys Thought"), but for the most part, I can see these poems still finding an audience, especially as a read-aloud to young children, or as a beginning reader for those just getting going on their own.
Prelutsky and Hafner, who have collaborated on other holiday poem collections - It's Halloween , It's Christmas! - do a capable job with It's Thanksgiving, which first saw print in 1982, as part of Greenwillow Books' "Read-Alone" series of beginning readers, and which has subsequently been included in Harper's more famous "I Can Read" collection. The poems are, with the exceptions noted above, appealing, and the artwork humorous. The illustrations have a very 80s feel to me, which makes sense, given the date of publication, and which made me feel somewhat nostalgic for the kind of book I would check out of the public library as a girl. That said, I don't think they're so dated that they won't have any appeal for today's child reader. Recommended to anyone looking for Thanksgiving early readers, although vegetarians might want to give it a miss, given the omnipresence of turkeys and turkey consumption, in these poems.

Jack Prelutsky. What more is there to write? :) Dating myself here - I remember sharing this book with different reading groups during my work-scholarship days when it was first published! Honestly, it is as fun for me to share with each additional reading through the years. I shared several of the sections during story times this past month and Naomi read it aloud today
Marilyn Hafner's illustrations are always fun and perfectly fit the text.
Every aspect of Thanksgiving is covered from going to dinner at Grandma's house, to carving the bird, the football game, parade, wishbones and leftovers.
"...Our dinner looked delicious, but I didn't dare to touch,
I went hungry on Thanksgiving - my new braces hurt so much."
"...I'm stuffed up with muffins
and much too much stuffin',
I'm probably going to die."
I love this book. :)

This short book of Thanksgiving poems is cute. Maybe not best for a kid about to get braces, though.... (There is a poem about braces hurting.)

A fun book for kids just beginning to read on their own and appreciate poetry.

This was a little different than how I thought. I thought it would be a book of poems, but it's actually more in story format, with rhyming lines.
I didn’t like the timeline. It started out with thanksgiving day, then went to school leading up to thanksgiving. It would have been good if it went in chronological order.
I also didn't like the poems on turkeys being killed for Thanksgiving:
‘If turkeys thought, they’d run away
a week before Thanksgiving Day,
but turkeys can’t anticipate,
and so there’s turkey on my plate.'
They’re at the train station, getting one-way tickets with their baby turkey, which was a cute scene.
‘When the turkey gobble gobbles,
it is plump and proud and perky,
When our family gobble gobbles,
we are gobbling down the turkey.’
This was funny, and we can all relate to it:
‘I ate too much turkey,
I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie,
I’m stuffed up with muffins,
and much too much stuffin’,
I’m probably going to die.’
The image of the kid with his shirt stretched tight over his swollen belly, with buttons about to pop, and a stained face from eating was cute.
‘He tunes it in, takes off his shoes,
and turns to watch his heroes lose.’
The football thing was cute, their dad yelling at everything the team is doing wrong.
'He seems to take it very hard
whenever they fall short a yard.
"Another incomplete," he grunts,
"more penalties, more bungled punts."
"They're missing tackles," Daddy mumbles,
"dropping passes, making fumbles...
INTERCEPTION!" Daddy roars,
as once again the wrong team scores.'
This was a cute enough book, covering all the classic Thanksgiving topics; going to your grandparents, the first Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving projects and drawings at school, Thanksgiving Day Parade, carving the turkey, overeating, football games, breaking the wishbone (which my family forgot to do this year), and eating leftovers for days afterwards.

Jack Prelutsky has been blessed to work with a number of fine illustrators. Marylin Hafner isn't as famous as Peter Sís, Garth Williams, or Arnold Lobel, but her artwork for It's Thanksgiving is tender and endearing, uniquely evocative of the feelings of family togetherness and purposeful gratitude that make Thanksgiving a holiday we can't afford not to celebrate. For every dextrous turn of phrase or clever rhyme Jack Prelutsky produces, Marylin Hafner has a soft-toned image to deepen its meaning, allowing readers to see the warm, winsome scenes the poet describes and read their own cherished Thanksgiving memories into them. It's Thanksgiving is a true collaborative endeavor by author and illustrator, a touching homage to a holiday sometimes overlooked for its location between Halloween and Christmas. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to unite with family and friends for no other reason than to remind each other why we're thankful for the blessings that fill our lives, and celebrate the privilege of having loved ones with whom to share those blessings. Lighthearted and jovial throughout, It's Thanksgiving nonetheless does its part to put young readers in that grateful state of mind.
"Though the weather is windy
and chilly and gray,
our family is happy
this Thanksgiving day."
—It's Thanksgiving, P. 11
It's Happy Thanksgiving, the first poem of the collection, is a boy's story of how he looks forward to spending the holiday at his grandmother's each year, feasting and enjoying mellow conversation with family as the season transitions toward winter. The First Thanksgiving is a respectful tribute to the spirit of the Pilgrims and Indians as they put aside differences to observe the first Thanksgiving, knowing the importance of having gratitude for Providence despite the hardships they had each endured. In The Middle of November we get a glimpse of how busy school can be leading into Thanksgiving break, with projects and parties to finish before vacation, and then If Turkeys Thought leavens the mix with a little pure humor as the poet suggests that turkeys wouldn't stick around to be eaten if they had the foresight to see Thanksgiving approaching and skedaddle a week in advance. I Went Hungry on Thanksgiving is one of the more thoughtful verses of the book, as a girl forlornly runs down a list of the sumptuous foods she can't enjoy this Thanksgiving because her braces ache so much. It's not fun having a problem corrected when it costs you some pleasures of life, but I suppose one is better off in the long run straightening what's crooked without delay.
We continue with The Thanksgiving Day Parade, a cheerful description of the parade festivities with our young narrator assuring us he doesn't mind if it rains during the event. Of course, there's good reason his spirits aren't dampened by precipitation. The illustration at poem's end of the family sitting close together watching the parade is one of the sweetest in the book. When Daddy Carves the Turkey pokes light fun at a father whose passion for carving the roast exceeds his talent for the task, and I Ate Too Much is a classic summation of a huge Thanksgiving meal that leaves one kid barely able to move, but not quite so full that he can't make room for dessert. Daddy's Football Game is a playful ode to American Thanksgiving tradition, as the children's father watches the primetime football game on television after dinner every year and roots his hapless favorite team on to a victory that never seems to materialize. But as the poem says, "Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without my father's football game." A brother and sister compete over the right to make a wish in The Wishbone, and the poet draws comedic comparison between human and bird phonetics in Gobble Gobble. The twelfth and final poem of It's Thanksgiving is Leftovers, which features a girl grown sick and tired of eating nothing but turkey leftovers in the weeks after Thanksgiving. We love Thanksgiving and its plenteous banquet, but there's only so much culinary homogeny the human palate can stand. We'll be ready for another turkey feast come next November, as we always are.
Jack Prelutsky and Marylin Hafner are a good storytelling team, and I might give It's Thanksgiving two and a half stars. In my opinion the best poems are The First Thanksgiving, a nice, brief exploration of the holiday's history, and I Went Hungry on Thanksgiving, which elicits genuine empathy for the girl wearing braces and has the broadest application of any poem in the collection. You can add Daddy's Football Game to that top tier, as a meaningful expression of Thanksgiving nostalgia for kids of the era when this book was first published. Jack Prelutsky is one of my favorite poets, and I adore It's Thanksgiving as much as his other wonderful work. For Thanksgivings passed with kids of any age, this book is an ideal conduit for intergenerational connection.

It’s Thanksgiving by Jack Prelutsky. This story is a folklore for children that are the age of seven and eight years old. For this folklore, I would rate it a five. I loved this story. This story was written about different ways people celebrate their Thanksgiving. It had stories on celebrating Thanksgiving at their grandma’s, football games on Thanksgiving, when their daddy carves the turkey and so much more. I really liked for every different story there was a heading. For example, “The Thanksgiving Day Parade”. For the next two to three pages it was all about the Thanksgiving parade. Every page had illustrations and these illustrations were colored in with fall colors. Some of the colors that were used were brown, orange, yellow, and white. I loved this idea because it really matched the theme of the book. Also, this story had rhymes in it. I really think this made the story catchy and easier to read for children of the ages of seven and eight. In the future, I would use this story to teach about Thanksgiving and the month November. This book is great for children to connect to because it had many varieties on the ways people can celebrate the holiday Thanksgiving.

Poetry is one of those areas all-too-neglected in a modern education. Many kids never learn to enjoy poetry and rarely read it. Unlike more classic poetry, which can be hard for children to enjoy, these poems are fun, silly, and modern, making them easy for a modern child to love.
There are tons of Thanksgiving books out there. Many of them are factual books about the history of the holiday. There are a lot about family dinners and get togethers. However, these poems are unique and fun. We'll read these a few dozen times this season, I'm sure. Even my sixteen month old enjoys them. He was the first one to ask me to read them!

I really think all levels of students would enjoy this book because they are cute, funny, poems about Thanksgiving that nearly every student can relate to. I loved this book and thought they were hysterical and I read it to my students the day before Thanksgiving and they thought it was great. Prelutsky has a way with words and writes about normal events that everybody can relate to in a very comical way. It would be a great book to read during a poetry unit or around Thanksgiving.

I liked all of these poems.
'The Thanksgiving Day Parade' reminded me of the one Thanksgiving I was lucky enough to be in New York for the Thanksgiving parade -
and that reminds me of the one I spent in Orlando at a French restaurant -
And of how many people actually do eat out on Thanksgiving (and sadly, how many still have to work.)
Which reminds me of the sea of people in the grocery store days during my time as a checker....

This is a Level 3 Reader meaning complex plots for confident readers to read alone.
My child didn't really like this book because it's different poems rather than one story.
Poems are: It's Happy Thanksgiving, The First Thanksgiving, The Middle of November, If Turkeys Thought, I Went Hungry on Thanksgiving, The Thanksgiving Day Parade, When Daddy Carves the Turkey, I Ate Too Much, Daddy's Football Game, The Wishbone, Gobble Gobble, and Leftovers.

I really liked this book because of the illustrations. I liked how the story was not just how nice Thanksgiving is but that it is a crazy holiday but fun. This book is a great representation of how a holiday could be and how fun it is. This would be a great book to read during the Thanksgiving holiday.
November 15, 2017
Perfect book to read to kids during a Thanksgiving story time that also included rhyming words! Nice, short poems anyone can relate to! Love that he included one about the wishbone; too many children I run into have no idea what that is!! Come on parents! Teach the kiddos our traditions!!! Anyway, the book was wonderful and fun to share with a small group.

I love Jack Prelutsky. He makes poetry cool and kids like it. My 4 yr old son loved this book, especially Gobble, Gobble and Leftovers. From the contents, he was hooked when he saw the word "football".
December 8, 2010
Prelutsky's Thanksgiving poetry has it all: turkeys, pilgrims, the parade, overeating, football, leftovers, etc. Will and I read it last November and this November. And I plan on reading it next November.

Poem book written for ages nursey (N) to primary (P). Great illustrations and easy to read poems. Fun reading for young readers will guarantee a very special reading experience! I give them all five stars!
December 10, 2012
I loved this book. I loved that there were so many different poems about the different aspects of Thanksgiving. This book gives a good variety of topics for children to read about. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Thanksgiving obviously and to all ages of children.
January 29, 2013
Jack's always a hit with my kids.
Curriculum Connection
I always start our Morning Meeting by reading a poem to my class. Most of them would tell you it's one of their favorite parts of the day. This has some really fun poems to read aloud around Thanksgiving.

This book has some cute beginning poems about Thanksgiving. There are 12 poems and they are fairly short. They are very basic with simple rhyming and great for beginning readers with a Thanksgiving theme. There are illustrations to go along with each poem.
February 10, 2015
while reading this book it took me back to thanksgiving. This book covers everything that has to do with that holiday, including food, being thankful and even football. It definitely puts you in the holiday spirit.

Jack Prelutsky poetry is always fun and I love the illustration style. I was not a fan of the one poem that presented an idealistic and inaccurate portrait of the first Thanksgiving, but otherwise I did enjoy this collection.
June 29, 2021
Some of these poems were fine and very American Thanksgiving - the parade, the football, the family gathering, the leftovers.
But I was a vegetarian too long to love the jokes about the turkeys, the first Thanksgiving is very yikes, and I don’t want to explain what grace is to my secular kids.

Collection of short poems sure to please most kids. My personal favorite is about the poor kid who missed out on the Thanksgiving meal because "My new braces hurt too much."
August 8, 2008
This is just a fun little book of poems, mostly funny ones. My favorites are "Daddy's Football Game" and "When Daddy Carves the Turkey"
December 2, 2008
I had to read one of these poems during my Thanksgiving story time. I LOVED Prelutsky's poetry as a child. Next up: his Christmas collection!

"Shannon 1987." It has always struck me that Jack Prelutsky is a more versatile poet than Shel Silverstein, although I often used to get them mixed up.

Peoms about thanksgiving. Wonderful book with wonderful pictures. This is great for yound readers.
