Book Description

“Mayr’s onomatopoeic turkey escapes are a nice pair with Rader’s energetic watercolors. Sure to be a participatory storytime favorite." --Kirkus Reviews

"The acrylic paint-and-ink illustrations are comical and full of feathered fun. While the premise may put kids off eating turkey, they’ll gobble up the humor." --Booklist

"This fast-paced romp is as much fun to read as it is to listen to. The simple text conveys just enough excitement to be suspenseful but not frightening (unless you’re a turkey). The illustrations are light and humorous with a comical turkey, determined farmer, and great cast of barnyard extras. The animals’ expressions are priceless. Good choice for storytime." –School Library Journal
