| Letter from Booker T. Worm |
When we last wrote we were on our way to the White House for the Opening Ceremony of the National Book Festival. As promised, we brought along your letters to the First Lady and delivered them to her Deputy Press Secretary. We heard from over 1,500 of you! What fun it was to read what you had to say.
So much has been going on recently. Everyone is rushing around getting ready for Halloween. We all love dressing up and trick or treating --- just like you. The only candy we do not like is Gummy Worms. I am sure you can understand why! See my selection of costumes is on the Thanksgiving Books page.
By the way if you cannot see our snazzy new newsletter in color, complete with pictures of book covers, go to the link at the bottom of my letter to read our newsletter online. For kids on AOL with Kids Only accounts, we cannot send you newsletters with graphics, so this link is your ticket to see the pictures that we have added.
And without further ado...our lineup for the week...

| Thanksgiving Books |
It seems like this year is going by so fast! It is hard to believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! We are already starting to make plans for the holiday in my family. My sister, Faye Belle, is going to have the whole family over for a huge turkey dinner. Our mother is going to make her famous pecan pie for dessert, and I am going to bring the vegetables from my own garden. We will eat a big dinner together, and then the little wormkids will tell the others different stories about Thanksgiving. Each cousin, niece, and nephew under the age of 12 will help tell the stories. They will use several books from our BOOKWORM feature on Thanksgiving. The books there are about Thanksgiving from the past, and the present. My nephew is going to tell the story of being a turkey named Turk. I do not know about you, but I sure would not want to be a turkey in November! Yikes!
Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on how much our family and friends mean to us and the perfect time to spend time with people we love. Why not start a new tradition and share a Thanksgiving book with one of your favorite people? We've got several good choices in our roundup.
