The Thanksgiving Surprise by Peggy Archer

Here's another book with two names. It was originally published as Turkey Surprise but is not called The Thanksgiving Surprise. Two pilgrims go on a hunt to bring home the Thanksgiving turkey. The only problem is, Little Pilgrim Brother doesn't want turkey. He's sick of having turkey for Thanksgiving. When he sees the turkey on their hunt he pretends he doesn't see it. The turkey doesn't get eaten for Thanksgiving due to the the persuasive manner of Little Pilgrim Brother. The pilgrims go vegetarian for Thanksgiving instead!

sixteen runaway pumpkins by Dianne Ochiltree

This book is about a raccoon who collects pumpkins from the garden. He's doing great until he hits a bump and then he looses them. They roll down the hill and into Grandpa's kitchen, splat. The pumpkins have made a huge mess. Grandpa's not worried though, he decides to make pumpkin pie. This book helps kids to count!
