PreS-K–The turkeys are prepping, and the spectators are gathering for the Turkey Trot. Little readers are invited to stretch, wiggle, hop, and waddle right along with the turkeys. Who will win? It’s hard to tell! There’s no clear view of how many turkeys there are competing. The colors are a treat, but the illustrations are muddled. This board book is perfect for an interactive read-aloud.
VERDICT The soft turkey feet that hang off the book won’t last long out on the shelf of a public library, but this would be a cute addition to most story time collections.
