Wouldn’t it be a nice to win some books? How about a trip? What about a classroom subscription or gift cards? We have information about all this and more for you! Read on to find out!
Submit a comment to the blog by 11:59 pm EST Sunday, November 9, 2014, to tell me which of the items below are your favorites. One lucky teacher will win two books that are perfect for preparing for Thanksgiving Day! 
In The Great Thanksgiving Escape, “vicious” dogs; a hallway of smooching, snuggling aunts; and zombie-like teenagers block the way as Gavin and Rhonda attempt to find some fun before turkey time. Then journey across the ocean with Pilgrims in the nonfiction read The Mayflower. It includes a timeline from when the Mayflower set sail in 1620 to when Thanksgiving Day was established in 1941. (Update: Congratulations to Kim, who is the winner of the books!)
