Soon Thanksgiving will be here and to help you prepare, the Children's Library has a plethora of seasonal books! How about a recipe book like Slumps, Grunts and Snickerdoodles, full of interesting historical facts and recipes from Colonial America? There are several books of prayers and graces, perfect to recite at the dinner table. Or learn about the Pilgrims and what led them to leave their home in England and come to a new land. The kids might also like to read about the story of Squanto in Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving and what a blessing he was to the English settlers. And Give Thanks to the Lord by Karma Wilson is a wonderful read-aloud psalm of thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!
