Purchase options and add-ons

The perfect picture book for the holiday, this hilarious twist on the traditional Thanksgiving feast features Turkey as he hops from hiding place to hiding place to avoid ending up as the main course.

With Thanksgiving only one day away, can Turkey find a place to hide from the farmer who's looking for a plump bird for his family feast?
Maybe he can hide with the pigs . . . or the ducks . . . or the horses . . .
Uh-oh! Here comes the farmer!
Run, Turkey, run!

I used this book in a Thanksgiving lesson for music class! I added a lovely little song that we sang each time the book read, “Run Turkey Run”. The students in every grade loved it and were still singing the song in December. The book was perfect and great for my ages in my classes.

Loved this book! I used this in my PE classes this week. The kids had a blast acting out the actions in this book. Great for preschool through first, and maybe second graders.

Great story! Love reading with my first graders and discussing verbs!!!

They created their own covers of a sequel book. Picked an animal and a verb that would be associated with the animal. (I.e. Gallop, Horse, Gallop! And Hop, Rabbit, Hop!)

I am an elementary music teacher and my K/1st graders loved this story!!!!

I made up a song and we sang it everytime the turkey ran away. I taught eighth notes and added a bourdon on the Orff instruments of C and G.

"Run trukey run, the farmer will catch you.
Run turkey run, it's Thanksgiving Day"

The students would come through the door at music time singing the song.
