A Plump and Perky Turkey

by Teresa Bateman

Description: Turkeys around Squawk Valley just don't jump into pots anymore -- they are way too smart for that. So the townspeople hatch a clever plan. They host a turkey-themed arts and crafts fair and lure a vain bird into town by advertising for an artist's model. Peter the Turkey, proud of his well-stuffed form, takes the bait but doesn't fall for the trap. Fun rhymes and illustrations.

The people in Squawk Valley
were downhearted and depressed.
Thanksgiving was approaching,
but without its special guest.
