Our last Milk and Cookies Storytime at Panera was all about birds… including turkeys. Now that Halloween is over, we might as well start getting excited about Thanksgiving \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Our next Panera storytime won’t be until around Valentine’s Day… but we do have a pajama storytime (Family Reading Night) over at the Dundee Library Thursday, November 15 at 7 pm. The theme will be “Once upon a Time” (fairy and folk tales). Come one, come all. No registration necessary.<\/p>\n

\n(Make a flannel of a turkey sans feathers. Also make red, blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, black, white and brown feather pieces to add to the turkey as the rhyme progresses.)
\nMr. Turkey was so sad,
\nHe lost the feathers he once had.
\nNow he wants us to help him find
\nAll the feathers of his kind.
\nWe will look both high and low,
\nWe will find them, don’t you know.
\nHere’s a RED one and a BLUE,
\nLook, we’ve found a GREEN one, too.
\nHere’s an ORANGE one and a YELLOW,
\nSoon he’ll be a feathered fellow.
\nNow we’ve found the PURPLE one,
\nBLACK and WHITE, we’re almost done.
\nIf we just look up and down.
\nI know we’ll find the feather BROWN.
\nNow Mr. Turkey is so glad,
\nFor we have found the feathers he once had!<\/p>\n
\nThe turkey is a funny bird,
\nHis head goes wobble, wobble.
\nAll he know is just one word,
\nGobble, Gobble, Gobble.<\/p>\n
\n Ten fat turkeys standing in a row
\n (hold up ten fingers)
\n They spread their feathers and tails like so
\n (spread fingers)
\n They strut to the left
\n They strut to the right
\n (move fingers left and right)
\n They Gobble, gobble, gobble
\n in the bright sunlight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
