Synopsis:

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? 

A turkey is running loose in a school right before the Thanksgiving play. Can YOU help catch it? Follow along as students turn their school upside down trying to catch the turkey, ending with a twist that ensures that no turkeys are harmed (or eaten!)


My Thoughts:


The school's Thanksgiving Day play can't go on if the prized turkey has a case of stage fright! He's the star of the show, after all, and he has other plans; to escape any and every trap thrown his way, and as usual in the How To Catch series, there are LOTS! 

Join the usual cast of kids as they search for and attempt to catch their school mascot! 

Rhyming text and raucous illustrations will have your readers laughing out loud as this turkey evades traps and inventions and even mashed potatoes as it attempts to flee from the stressful role of 'star of the play!'

The How To Catch series is a lot of fun and tends to go after any mythical and/or holiday-based creature, and includes lots of neat, inventive traps and cages in their attempts.
