Critics Review
“A poultry-style twist on a classic tale… Christian’s humorous rhymes trot along quickly, matching the momentum of the sprinting fowl. The ending brings a surprise (for Turkey, though maybe not for readers, who should be able to predict the ending) as glasses are raised to toast him, not roast him. Rawat’s bright illustrations rendered in autumnal colors depict a diverse group of townspeople. A silly caper filled with Thanksgiving fun.” – Kirkus Reviews
“This fast-moving comedy is perfect for turkey trot and tofurkey lovers.” — Publishers Weekly
