Reviews"Stuffed with clever wordplay, groanable puns, and easy-to-ham-it-up animal sounds, the chuckle-inducing narrative makes a crowd-pleasing read-aloud. Turkey's getups are exuberantly silly and the animals' sardonic facial expressions are sublime." -- School Library Journal "Kids will eat this up this clever and comical tale." -- Booklist "This book is as silly as Denys Cazet's offerings about Minnie and Moo and just as funny. Harper's comical watercolor illustrations pair naturally with Silvano's clever, filled-with-wordplay text. A first choice for holiday collections." -- Publishers Weekly

My son loves this book! I looked all over town trying to find it, being close to Thanksgiving I thought it would be an easy find. It wasn't. Very easy to read book about a turkey who was in very big trouble, it was close to Thanksgiving and he was the main course. Turkey tries to dress up as other animals to disguise the farmer, but he can't find the perfect costume. Then he thinks of his best idea yet....to order the farmer and his family a pizza for Thanksgiving :)
