Description

Turkey is off to school or is he in this addition to the much-loved Turkey Trouble series.

School is starting soon and Turkey cant wait. Each day, he and his barnyard friends practice their writing and math. But when the school bus rolls up, they are booted off. It turns out that animals arent allowed to attend school. Pig calls it 'hogwash,' and Turkey agrees. All he has to do is find a way to show the students and the principal that turkeys and their friends do belong in school. With a gobble, gobble here; a gobble, gobble there; and a few clever costumes, he just might.

Reviews

The watercolor-and-pencil illustrations feature quirky characters with wide eyes and expressive features and a relatively diverse class of children. A cute twist on both the farm and school themes. Kirkus Reviews
