Over the years, we have been reading all sorts of books about Thanksgiving: from board books to picture books to chapter books to full-on memoirs. As the children grow, the books change, naturally. You are busy, especially now around the holidays, so I have put together a book list for your convenience. You can always find them at your local library or purchase them for your homeschool.
