This Is the Turkey

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paige Billin-Frye. Max's mom trips while carrying the Thanksgiving turkey to the table, and the bird goes flying into the fish tank. However, it doesn't really matter; as Max's grandma says, "we have all we need because everyone's here." The jaunty rhyming text reads aloud well: "This is the grandpa who takes his seat. / 'No turkey? No problem! I'm hungry--Let's eat!'" The illustrations create a lively, homey atmosphere.
