Illustrated by
Binny.
This diary (told from a pet turkey's perspective) describes the animal's domesticated life, from egg to egg-layer. Entertaining cartoon illustrations (including a well-labeled turkey diagram) accompany the touching, funny, and information-rich anecdotes about her upbringing. Turkey facts abound: sidebars that look like taped-on paper cover topics such as sounds, habitat, and diet. A small write-your-own pet diary is included.
