A hilarious and wholly original Thanksgiving book, destined to become a holiday classic!
Run, run, run as fast as you can. You won't catch me for your roasting pan!
When a turkey is caught in a trap on Thanksgiving morning, he knows it can only mean one thing: a one-way trip to the dinner table. But this particular turkey won't give up without a fight, so he takes to the streets in a daring escape! Tailed by a small group of pursuers, he's determined to make it out of Thanksgiving Day without catching sight of a turkey baster.
But it's possible that not is all that it seems. Maybe the group chasing him do not want to enjoy him as part of their Thanksgiving meal; maybe they have something else in mind instead . . .
Written in witty, bouncing rhyme by Alayne Kay Christian and brought to life with lush, autumnal art by Neha Rawat, Turkey on the Run! is bound to become a classic that young readers will beg to read again and again.
"A silly caper filled with Thanksgiving fun." – Kirkus Reviews
"A poultry-style twist on a classic tale... Christian’s humorous rhymes trot along quickly, matching the momentum of the sprinting fowl. The ending brings a surprise (for Turkey, though maybe not for readers, who should be able to predict the ending) as glasses are raised to toast him, not roast him. Rawat’s bright illustrations rendered in autumnal colors depict a diverse group of townspeople. A silly caper filled with Thanksgiving fun." – Kirkus Reviews
