A Thanksgiving Feast in the Woods

On Thanksgiving morning, Little Squirrel spread a tablecloth beneath the oak tree. Hedgehog arrived with a basket of apples, Mouse brought an ear of corn, and two little spiders rolled a pumpkin down the path. It was so big that it nearly rolled right under the table!

By lunchtime, the apples had become applesauce, the corn had popped, and the pumpkin had turned into a pie. Little Squirrel had brought three acorns, too, but he couldn’t remember where he’d put them. “Can you help me find them?” he asked.

After the feast, a leaf landed beside Mouse’s plate. She drew a picture of her friends on it and said, “I’m thankful we got to eat together.” Soon everyone had a leaf of their own, and they hung them on a branch to make a Thankful Tree.

Now it’s your turn! Find and color the treats in At the Thanksgiving Table, match the harvest foods to their dishes in From Field to Feast, and draw or write what you’re thankful for in My Thankful Tree.
