How to Catch a Turkey

Written by Adam Wallace and Illustrated by Andy Elkerton

A turkey is running loose in a school right before a Thanksgiving play. Can YOU help catch it so the show can go on? Follow along as students turn their school upside down trying to catch the turkey, ending with a twist that ensures no turkeys are harmed (or eaten!). This hilariously zany children's picture book combines STEAM concepts and traps with a silly story and fun illustrations, perfect for starting a new fall family tradition this autumn or giving as a Thanksgiving gift for kids ages 4 and up!

Thanksgiving time is here again, but there's a turkey on the run!

Can you catch this tricky bird before the school play has begun?
