PB 4: One Tough Turkey: A Thanksgiving Story by Steven Kroll
A great holiday book! The book talks about the Pilgrims and how Thanksgiving came about. This would be a great book to follow a lesson about the Pilgrims and Indians.

The Pilgrims go hunting for turkeys to eat on their first T-giving. The turkeys play tricks and evade the hunters who then only eat squash for their first T-giving.
