Gobble, Gobble
Description:... The ideal turkey book for preschoolers and the perfect Thanksgiving picture book for kids!
This turkey story for kids follows a little girl named Jenny through a year of observing the wild turkeys that live near her home. Gobble, Gobble is a great resource to learn about the seasons and the life cycle of wild turkeys through the storytelling of a child.
Arrow-shaped footprints lead a young backyard naturalist to a flock of funny-looking birds with big strong feet: Wild Turkeys! Once nearly extinct, these comical critters now gobble their way across North America. Follow Jenny through a year of enchantment as she shares her discovery of these wonderful birds. Gobble, gobble! Jenny wrote a journal, too, with lots of fascinating stuff about a distinctly American bird. Although it once numbered in the millions, wild turkeys nearly disappeared with over-hunting and habitat destruction, but are now making a comeback. The unique illustrations are block prints over collages. The collages are made from cut and torn paper plus all sorts of things from nature--bark, leaves, feathers, even wasp nests! Falwell also offers tips for children to make their own cut-paper pictures and how to keep a nature journal.
