Subject: ELEM: BOOK PUBLISHING VIDEO
Thanks to all the wonderful people who answered my last minute target! (
I'll compile a Christmas list shortly.)  Joan Kimball

Herewith some favorite Thanksgiving stories for elementary with a few
notes.  Dav Pilkey's book, 'Twas the Night before Thanksgiving, Franklin
Watts 1990, was the run-away favorite...very funny, for primary...a poem
about kids who save 8 turkeys when they take a field trip to a farm .

The numbers in brackets are the number of times a title was mentioned.

Cranberry Thanksgiving / Devlin [2]  (Bake the bread in the book for 2nd
graders.)

Eating the Plates: a Pilgrim Book of Food and Manners  /  Penner (is about
the real  Mayflower trip.  Some 5th graders were spellbound as we read
aloud about the harsh realities of that particular journey....also read the
part about how they  built their first houses...certainly a different point
of view from the
glossed over animated movies or cutsy stories!)

Gracias the Thanksgiving Turkey / Powell  (Puerto Rican view.  Spanish teacher
esp. likes it.)

If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 / McGovern
It's Thanksgiving / Prelutsky

Legend of the Cranberry: a Paleo-Indian Tale / Greene (encourage students
to tell the legend when they pass "craneberries"  at their Thanksgiving
feasts.)

Little Bear's Thanksgiving / Janice (Good for K-1)
Molly's Pilgrim / Cohen
Over the River and Through the Wood [2] / Child

Relatives Came / Rylant ( Not about Thanksgiving.... I talk with the
children about what relative s they will be visiting for Thanksgiving or
who is coming to visit them and where will everybody sleep.)

Samuel Eaton's Day / Waters
Sarah Morton's Day / Waters
Tapenum's Day / Waters
Thanksgiving at Our House / Watson
Thanksgiving at the Tappleton's / Spinelli (esp. Gr. 3)
Thanksgiving: Stories and Poems /  Bauer (especially:  -Chester the Lazy
Turkey-)

Thanksgiving Treat / Stock
There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie ( a Thanksgiving Pie)
(esp. 3 year-olds)

Turkey for Thanksgiving / Bunting
Turkey Girl / Baker (Zuni Indian Cinderella) (Not strictly Thanksgiving,
nice relief for gr. 2 up)

Turkey on the Loose / Wickstrom (esp. K-2)
Turkey Pox / Anderson [2]  (esp. good if snow storm or chicken pox hits)

Turkey's Side of It / Smith ( Great to read aloud to 3rd grade...they  are
usually working on their Christmas program during this  time and can truly
identify with Adam Joshua's "problem")

'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving / Pilkey [6]  (Humor. Most popular)

Dear Colleagues, I have been teaching the elements of title pages to my upper-
elementary students and I realize they have a hard time understanding the
process of publishing. My assistant remembers a segment on a Reading Rainbow
program where the process was shown but she can't remember the title. Does
anyone know of this or any other appropriate video to highlight functions of
the publisher?  TIA.
