HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

In honor of Turkey Day, I bring you trouble... TURKEY TROUBLE!


TURKEY TROUBLE is a funny book by Wendi Silvano, illustrated by Lee Harper. Read it today and think about how hard it was for Wendi to come up with an original turkey story and for Lee to draw those silly turkeys!

THANKFULLY YOURS,
