10 Turkeys In The Road

Product Description

Ten turkeys in the road are circus performers practicing their show. As a farmer in his pickup truck tries to pass them, he grows more and more frustrated. The turkeys fly away one at a time, but in the end, the clever turkeys get exactly what they were after all along. Bold, hilarious acrylic paintings bring to life all the spectacle and excitement of the circus.

Review

“Counting down with goofy gobblers—and a delightful final surprise…The turkey tableaux are deliriously silly, and…Slonim’s bright acrylics amp the loopiness of Sturgis’ verses.” —Kirkus Reviews
