I’m a Turkey
by Jim Arnosky
This book is also a song that was written and performed by Jim Arnosky. Tom the Wild Turkey introduces us to his family and flock of 102 other turkeys. He also talks about talking to other turkeys, flying, strutting, and avoiding the animals that would like to eat them. Tom even says to gobble at him if you see him, and he’ll “answer back with a gobble or two.”

Turk and Runt
by Lisa Wheeler and pictures by Frank Ansley
Turk was the biggest, strongest, and most graceful turkey on the farm, and his parents were very proud of him. His brother, Runt, knew that this could lead him to become someone’s Thanksgiving dinner, but no one would listen to him. In November, people would come to pick out a turkey, and Turk would practice every day by dancing and practicing his football moves. One day a ballet instructor showed up at the farm to pick a turkey. Turk did a beautiful dance routine for her, but Runt threw himself on the ground a had a fit, then chased the lady out of the yard. Then a football coach came to pick out a turkey. Turk showed off his football moves, but Runt pretended to be sick and the coach left. Then an old lady comes to the farm and picks out Runt. Will Turk be able to save his brother like Runt had saved him?
