A Plump and Perky Turkey

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jeff Shelly. Hoping to catch a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, the sneaky residents of Squawk Valley plan an arts-and-crafts fair with a turkey theme. They recruit Pete the turkey to pose for sculptures, intending to eat him later. But Pete outwits them and uses the many turkey sculptures to screen his escape. The bouncy rhyming story is fun to read aloud, and the watercolor and gouache illustrations heighten the comedy.
