A Turkey for Thanksgiving

Summary: A surprising and heart-warming end!
Review: Mr. Moose wants to make his wife happy by finding her a turkey for their Thanksgiving dinner. All the guests join in to look for the bird. The poor turkey is so afraid that he is reluctent to go with them. He (and we readers) find out in the end that they don't want him to be ON the table. Instead they want him to be AT the table to celebrate the holiday with them together.
I like this book because its surprising and heart-warming ending. When I was told that TURKEY is a symbol of Thanksgiving, I used to think "Of course, turkey is the main dish in our Thanksgiving dinner". Now I have discovered the new meaning of Thanksgiving.

Review: My children and I loved it! Even our 11 month old sat still for it! Well, with the exception of trying to grab at the illustrations! It did make me feel kind of guilty about eating turkey.......but not THAT guilty, we'll still be having it at Thanksgiving! I would think that vegetarians would love this book! Anyway, the book is adorable and our children and we are so glad to have it as a part of our home library!

Summary: Very cute story
Review: My daycare kids enjoyed this story totally. They were surprised by the ending and cheered! It teaches them to be kind to one another always. But personally I'm still going to eat turkey at Thanksgiving just like any other year.

Review: Our family are vegetarian...I bought this book for my 3 and 6 yr.olds. I was disappointed with this book and do not recomend it. Mrs. Moose wants a Turkey for Thanksgiving "like everyone else" and Mr. Moose goes out to get her one. He finds a terrified turkey hiding and forces him to come home with him. (I believe this is called kidnapping) The turkey is sure that he is going to be dinner for most of the story, only to be told differently at the very end. Then he is suddenly happy and grateful to be invited to dinner. (Yeah,right) My children did not enjoy this story at all and neither did I.

Summary: This delightful book evokes the true spirit of Thanksgiving!
Review: When selecting books for our children, I try to pick stories that will hold their attention, provide an important message, and involve animals and/or nature. Eve Bunting’s book A Turkey For Thanksgiving has all of these criteria - and more! It is also a good book for children who are vegetarians or vegans.
In A Turkey For Thanksgiving Mrs. Moose is preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for her and Mr. Moose’s animal friends. However, this year she has decided that she wants a turkey for dinner so Mr. Moose, joined by his friends, sets off to find one. Eventually a turkey is found by the river and brought back for dinner. The terrified turkey is delighted, and relieved, to learn that he isn’t the main course, but a guest at this vegetarian feast! This delightful book evokes the true spirit of Thanksgiving. –Reviewed by Glenn Perrett
