When I was in elementary school in Texas I believe the author of this book came to an assembly, read it and then made it available to purchase. I loved this book when I was in the 5th grade but unfortunately I lost it. When you try to buy it now it doesn't have the original illustrations in it :(

Funny reads

Thanksgivingland
Colorful children's book about Todd. He is not looking forward to Thanksgiving but can't wait for Christmas.
He goes to the mall with his mom and gets sidetracked, climbs on the big turkey and they take a ride, to Thanksgivingland.
Things are a bit different there and you wonder if he will ever make it back to his home. He watches what is going on
with gratitude jars. Silly rhyming book at times. Meaningful at other times.
