Turkey Time!

     Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and we'll get in the spirit with Wendy Silvano's Turkey Trouble. The turkey in this story will do anything to avoid being the holiday meal, and kids will really enjoy his problem solving attempts.  It's a funny story, but the main character invites sympathy with a dilemma that students can really understand.  Silvano's writing is accessible to a large age base, but the nice balance of dialogue and predictability make it a great read for the Pre-K bunch. Students will find the surprise ending both comforting and funny. 

Check out a fun enrichment activity for the story at the Dresses n' Messes blog.
