Gus, the Pilgrim Turkey

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-1266-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ellen Joy Sasaki. Gus, a young turkey, goes on the lam as Thanksgiving rolls around. He jumps on a ship and arrives at the South Pole where he dons a tuxedo and hides among the penguins. Bright watercolor, colored-pencil, and pen-and-ink cartoons capture the story's humor, though the one-note joke does get old.
