Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey


As we continue our unit on making connections, second graders read the book Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey. This is a silly and entertaining book about children who find a way to have turkey for Thanksgiving. However, they are there as guests, not the meal, thanks to some brave children who find a way to save them! Let's share some more connections with this story, and I would also like you to discuss why you think the author, Dav Pilkey, decided to write this story?

    I love this Thanksgiving story. I think it is so funny. I love how the author uses the story pattern from "Twas the Night Before Christmas". I think it makes it very fun for kids (and adults) to read. I hope you all enjoyed it very much. I love that you are discussing Author's Purpose. Keep up the good work!
