I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Joy Allen.
Mark doesn't want to be the turkey in the second-grade Thanksgiving play. It's the worst part. Turkeys end up being eaten by the Indians and Pilgrims, so Mark plans to avoid being seen during the performance. When a pilgrim gets sick, however, he ad-libs and save the day. Mark's predicament will amuse beginning readers, and the energetic illustrations hit the spot.

The outrageously foolish friends, Boris, Morris, Doris, and Norris, are at it again. They try to celebrate Halloween but can't bob for apples because they don't know anyone named Bob. They try to serve Thanksgiving dinner, but the turkey won't sit still long enough for them to serve him. The whimsical illustrations add visual puns, making these books enjoyable for newly independent readers.
