Best Childrens Thanksgiving Books For All Ages

Helping children develop their reading skills is an ongoing challenge for many parents. Studies show what common sense tells us: the more kids read, the better they read and the more pleasure they get out of reading. And a great way to encourage children to read for themselves is to learn about our traditions and holidays through books.

Reading aloud to your child when he or she is very young helps them develop listening and speaking skills. There are lots of books about Thanksgiving written for very young children. While they may not yet understand the concept of celebrating holidays, children will learn about animals, American Indians, different foods, giving thanks, and even colors and numbers while an adult reads to them. Watching little ones as they begin to absorb and understand is fun for the parents too.

What is Thanksgiving is a fun and lively introduction to the true meaning of Thanksgiving. It's a sturdy board book with whimsical art and rhyming verse that's fun to read and is recommended for ages 2-5.
