10 Fat Turkeys
Tony Johnston
Cartwheel, 2004
Thanksgiving book
My 3 year old granddaughter loved this book. She quickly caught onto the rhyming of the book and could finish the lines by looking at the illustrations. The book is predictable but, in using the Thanksgiving theme, makes for an interesting book.
