Description

A hilariously fun read-aloud picture book where children think quickly and creatively to disguise a group of turkeys and save them from becoming Thanksgiving dinner!

It's Thanksgiving Day and Farmer Byrd's Turkey & Vegetable Farm is expecting business, but a surprisingly empty pen has the farmer declaring, "No turkeys for sale!"

Follow along as a group of kids get crafty and decide to save some turkeys by coming up with a cornucopia of creative and silly disguises for their feathered friends.

Inspired by the popular Thanksgiving school activity of creating paper disguises for the turkey, this lower-priced hardcover picture book is perfect for the classroom and for story time at home.

Critical Reviews

"Jaunty rhymes chronicle a group of kids' efforts to save a local flock of turkeys from becoming dinner in this message-forward Thanksgiving book. Crayon-like detailing gives Cleland's over-the-top digital renderings a grade-school vibe as expressive children of various skin tones gleefully pull off their ruse. Luckily, all seem to agree: "Vegetarian-style meal?/ Think that has some great appeal!" -- Publishers Weekly

"Turkeys in Disguise is an adorable tale of budding vegetarianism. The illustrations are vibrant and colorful while still nodding toward a seasonally appropriate fall palette. Kids moved by the themes in the classic Charlotte's Web might appreciate this sillier take. A charming choice for a holiday read."
-- Booklist

"The well-matched text and art are lighthearted throughout, and the warmhearted ending does not disappoint. Fun for vegetarians and omnivores alike." -- Kirkus Reviews
