Run, Turkey, Run! by Diane Mayr (2007)

The day before Thanksgiving, Turkey tries to disguise himself as other animals in order to avoid being caught by the farmer. Great for toddler or preschool storytimes. "Run, turkey, run!" is repeated throughout giving a great audience participation device. Onomatopoeia throughout making this picture book tons of fun and phonologically aware. Artwork is simple, yet vibrant and expressive. A twist at the end will give the preschoolers something to think about. My favorite outcome. A Thanksgiving must!!
