 About the Book:

 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 paper-over-board picture book is perfect for the classroom and for story time at home.
