Percy's dog-park romp with his friends is interrupted by a face-off with a squirrel. Young readers will recognize and enjoy these familiar dog antics, though they may be puzzled by the title, which matches the text's tone but has little connection to the story line. Mann's illustrations, heavy on white space, are the perfect complement to the spare but effective text.

Shannon's comically gangly turkey is a creative thinker, unlike pessimistic Pig, Hen, and Chick, who give up on reaching some high-growing blackberries. Like the industrious Little Red Hen, Turkey Tot keeps on working, and with a little imagination and a positive attitude, he succeeds. With its short sentences and humorous repetition, this makes an entertaining book for storytime as well as a good early reader.
