• "The Little Red Turkey" — a Thanksgiving adaptation of The Little Red Hen, with matching pieces for Thanksgiving vocabulary and answer pieces for Wh-questions
• A no-bake "Pumpkin Pie in a Cup" recipe book — students match each step to its page, then sequence the whole recipe on the final page
• Visual recipe card included to extend the learning, work on life skills, and make pumpkin pie in a cup
• (See photos and video for the full preview.)

📖 Sample Text — "The Little Red Turkey"

Who will help the Little Red Turkey plant the pumpkin seeds, pick the pumpkins, bake the pumpkins, scoop the pumpkins, and make the pumpkin pie?

"Not I," said Horse.

"Not I," said Sheep.

"Not I," said Cow.

"Not I," said Peep.

Then I guess she will have to do it herself!
