Turk and Runt by Lisa Wheeler illustrated by Frank Ansley*

"A Thanksgiving Comedy"
Runt's parents are so proud of his brother Turk.  He is huge and plump.  The parents have huge aspirations for Turk.  But Runt knows better.  Turk's destiny is on a platter on a Thanksgiving Day table.  But no one listens to Runt until one day when an elderly comes for Runt.
Funny!
*Highly recommend.
Grade Level Equivalent: 2.8
**I saw online a Reader's Theater made for this book. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Readers-Theater-Turk-and-Runt-A-Thanksgiving-Comedy-863762   It costs over $6.00.
Strategy: fluency, expanding vocab.
