Thanksgiving All Around by Mike Berenstain -- GIFT

Berenstain, Mike Thanksgiving All Around. PICTURE BOOK. Harper Festival, 2014. $6.99. Content: G.

The Berenstain Bears go for a walk before Thanksgiving, enjoying the chilly weather, the late-autumn leaves, and the wildlife. But when they see turkey tracks, they have a new destination: find the bird that made them and prove that "Turkey Day" really is approaching.

Despite the name, the book focuses more on autumn than on Thanksgiving, which gives it more versatility. Because it is a paperback with flaps for lifting, it will likely not be sturdy enough for regular classroom or library use. However, it would work well for a home collection, or as a gift for a young child.
