Beyond Turkey: A Thanksgiving Feast of Fun, Facts, And Activities

by Debbie Herman, Ann D. Koffsky

This beautifully illustrated book tells kids everything they will need to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. It recounts the story behind the modern holiday and presents fun facts, games, songs, and recipes for the whole family to enjoy. The first half of " Beyond Turkey " tells the story of the Pilgrims' journey to America in the early seventeenth century, the challenges they faced there, and their relationship with the Wampanoag tribe. Sidebars of fun and interesting Thanksgiving facts accompany the story. The book's second half shows innovative crafts that kids can make from household items, including a charity-box turkey from an oatmeal container, and a Thanksgiving-theme napkin ring from an empty paper towel roll. " Beyond Turkey " is a cornucopia of Thanksgiving fun. Color illustrations throughout.
