This was a cute, short, fun read to get us in Thanksgiving mode. The illustrations were colorful, and the sentences were short enough to keep my daughter’s attention.
This book was fun, but not really interactive or educational. It was very enjoyable, and perfect for November.
This was a good read for both of my littles.

This is more than a Thanksgiving book. It's a book that introduces children to all different aspects of school--plays, principal, the sports team, etc. That was a fun thing I didn't see coming. Children will love the hilarity with which our turkey friend tries to avoid being in the school play!

This is either 4 or 3 stars, I'm not sure. It'll be 4 because it did what it says it would.
2023-0130-1126: I'm revising this to a 3 or a 2 because thanksgiving sucks & the twist ending is problematic actually considering residential schools & compulsory jollyness. I don't feel comfortable fivinf it a 1 because again it does what it says on the box.
It's an audiobook for a picture book. It was cute. I marked it as squick because it unlocked a couple bad memories of being chased around a school, and it's also a Thanksgiving book, but I like animals. I read it because I saw it listed on a library app & wanted to know what the twist ending was.

This is the first How to Catch book I haven't read to the kids. It's an action packed beginning book with a great rhyme scheme and the artwork is worthy of the series.
The set up is different. Turkey's aren't mythical, so the turkey starts out in a cage and is about to go onstage during a play. The turkey gets stage fright and takes flight and running from all the kids in the school. It's a little different from the other books as kids aren't setting traps for the turkey as much. There are a few rooms where the kids are trying to catch it, but mostly it is the chaos of school that is the danger to turkey.
The best part of this book is the ending. The turkey is running from the principal and ends up on stage in front of the audience and the turkey discovers he loves being on stage in front of people. It's such a cute ending. This is a great modern Thanksgiving book for kids. It's entertaining, fast paced and fun.
I don't have many Thanksgiving books this year, so this might be it. I'll hunt around on Open library and see if I can get another one. Happy Turkey day everyone.

How are these books still getting made? The rhymes are atrocious and the plot contrived. I'm also a little aggravated to see pilgrims in a book in 2018. At least there were no children dressed up as Native Americans?
