A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman illustrated by Jeff Shelly

The people in Squawk Valley have a huge problem this Thanksgiving-no turkeys are in sight.  So they advertise for a "plump and perky" turkey to be a model for their local arts and crafts fair.  A turkey volunteers but will he outsmart them and make them eat shredded wheat on Thanksgiving Day?

When I taught third grade, our team read this book aloud and then each student had to create a plump and perky turkey to display.  They could use any material just as long as it was in the shape of a turkey!  We had our own turkey arts and craft contest.
