Bad trouble. But Turkey has an idea--what if he doesn't look like a turkey? What if he looks like another animal instead?After many hilarious attempts, Turkey comes up with the perfect disguise to make this Thanksgiving the best ever!Wendi Silvano's comical story is perfectly matched by Lee Harper's watercolors.. The kind of trouble where it's almost Thanksgiving and you're the maincourse. Turkey is in trouble
Harper's comical watercolor illustrations pair naturally with Silvano's clever, filled-with-wordplay text. When he hears Farmer Jake tell his wife that if they can't find the turkey, maybe they should eat the rooster for dinner, the protagonist comes up with the perfect ruse. He does not look like any of them. He ties a brush on the back of his head and wears a tiny saddle because surely no one would eat a horse for dinner. He tries to become a cow, a pig, a sheep, and a rooster. This book is as silly as Denys Cazet's offerings about Minnie and Moo (HarperCollins) and just as funny. Thus begins his quest for the perfect disguise so he won't be found when the time arrives. A first choice for holiday collections.—Mary Hazelton, Elementary Schools in Warren & Waldoboro, ME END . From School Library Journal PreSchool- Grade 3—As Thanksgiving approaches, Turkey fears that he will be the centerpiece of the holiday meal. But the animals still recognize him
