Childrens Thanksgiving

Let’s celebrate Thanksgiving Day by singing songs and learn why the turkey is such an amazing bird. Did you know that only male turkeys gobble? Or that wild turkeys are intelligent, sensitive, and social animals? Kids will learn that wild turkeys sleep in trees and can fly up to 55 mph for short distances. Turkey jokes will make everyone laugh around the Thanksgiving Day table. Grab a fork and spoon and drive right into a delicious dish of learning!

Se acerca el Pavotón y Judy Moody ha decidido que se llevará el gran premio: un pavo gordo y jugoso. Casi puede saborearlo mientras ella y Stink entrenan al ritmo del cronómetro Rapidfire Ultra XE611M25 de Stink. Pero ¿y si no ganan? ¿La familia Moody se perderá el plato fuerte en la cena de Día de Acción de Gracias? ¡Mollejas de pavo voladoras!

There is much fiction surrounding the creation of Thanksgiving in America. Denise Kiernan debunks myths, provides facts, and explains how and why Thanksgiving evolved in the United States the way it did—and what gratitude means to society.

All across the world, among hundreds of cultures and across centuries, people have come together to give thanks. But Americans didn’t have an official Thanksgiving holiday until the 1800s. The holiday Americans know today exists because of a woman named Sarah Josepha Hale, a spirited letter-writing campaign, a sympathetic president, and a civil war.
