Jim Sollers.
A young turkey longs to strut like the big turkeys and eventually gets a chance to after a narrow escape from a fox and the passage of a long winter. Conveyed in rhyming text, the plot of this picture book is hackneyed, but the verse itself has rhythm and verve. The book includes expressive illustrations and appended factual information about wild turkeys.
