Yes I agree it is not a religious holiday and was very surprised to see that so many people think it is.

Religious Thanksgiving Stories

How about "Biscuit's Thanksgiving." It's a cute little story about a little girl celebrating Thanksgiving with her puppy Biscuit. I think there is a Clifford the Big Red Dog book on Thanksgiving as well. I'm surprised you have found so many religious books on this holiday. It's a holiday for everyone and it's not religious.

the Greeks did it first. Yes, they celebrated a feast of thanksgiving. Yes, they celebrated it in November. Yes, the celebration involved a banquet. Yes, there was a Thanksgiving Day parade. There you have it -- Thanksgiving Day, Greek style. The Greeks called their Thanksgiving Day ELEUTHERIA, and they celebrated it in the month they called Maemacterion (November on our calendar). They did not, however, feast on turkey. Their "kill" to be shared by all present at the banquet was a black bull -- much more practical since the whole town was expected for dinner. The Greek Thanksgiving Day was started after the battle of Plataea, 479 B.C. Every year, on the 16th day of the month of Maemacterion, a procession through town would start at dawn, at the signal of a trumpet. The procession was followed by wagons decorated with myrtle boughs (cf. out Thanksgiving Day parade floats decorated with roses and flowers), the black sacrificial bull and young free youths (cf. the marching groups of young people in our Thanksgiving Day parades).

that's odd. thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. we've had lots of thanksgiving books that were just about thanksgiving. check a good bookstore and ask the folks who work there. i'm sure they can help.
