Book Talk Tuesday: Turkey Trouble

Have you read this adorable book to your kiddos?!?  If not, it's the perfect addition to any theme you have going on this time of year!

The poor fellow tries to disguise himself so the farmer won't cook him for their Thanksgiving dinner.  He does such a good job, they end up having pizza for Thanksgiving instead of Turkey.

As a fun family project, we disguise Turkeys to prevent them from getting caught on Thanksgiving day!

We used a different template, but click here if you would like to snag one for FREE.

Book Talk Tuesday: Enemy Pie

I'm linking up with Deanna Jump for Book Talk Tuesday!

The book I want to share with you guys is...

It should have been the perfect summer with his sister away and a new tree house, but it wasn't turning out to be perfect at all.  

Jeremy Ross was the reason it was not perfect!

He laughed at him during baseball and didn't invite him over for the trampoline party...

Jeremy Ross becomes the first and only person on his enemy list in his tree house!

Luckily, his dad seems to know how to get rid of his enemy!!  He begins by making an enemy pie.

Jeremy and him ride bikes, play basketball and even hang out in his tree house.  

However, he becomes scared when his dad offers him the enemy pie.  

It turns out, the 'recipe' for getting rid of your enemy is to treat them like a friend!

I think this story is perfect for any age!  I love to read this book during our friends unit.

It's the perfect message on how to treat a bully or someone who doesn't seem to like you.

And....

In case you didn't know, you can watch Enemy Pie on Storyline Online!

Be sure to check out the other awesome books linked up over at Deanna's blog!

Let's Talk About Books Linky!

I'm linking up with Mrs. Jump for a fun linky!  Each week you share a favorite book you like to use in the classroom.  Since I LOVE children's literature (as most teachers do), I had to join in the fun!

I chose to share Does a Kangaroo have a Mother too? by Eric Carle.  Everyone loves Eric Carle!!!  He is most famous for some of his other books, but there are so many others that are just as good!

The pictures will capture their attention!  My daughter is only 16 months old, and she LOVES this book already!

This would be perfect for so many lessons.. but I use this book when talking about mommas and their offspring.  We use our Interactive Science Journals to match the baby to its mother.
