The Mitten meets How to Catch a Turkey in this absurd-yet-heartwarming read-aloud that’s perfect for Thanksgiving—or anytime you’re feeling ch-ch-chilly!
 
Turkey woke up c-c-cold.
He wheezed, “It’s ten degrees!”
I need to b-b-bundle up,
before I f-f-freeze!”


Sheep is shivering, Chicken is chilly, and Cow is quivering! Lucky for them, bundled-up Turkey is generous and shares his warm clothes with each of his barnyard friends. But once he’s down to just his birthday suit, what’s a cold turkey to do? (Not to worry—his friends will have him toasty again in no time!)

With rollicking rhythm and giggle-inducing illustrations, this heartwarming story of kindness is sure to be a hit with young readers at Thanksgiving, through snowy winter months, and all year-round!

Genre:

  • Children's Books
  • Juvenile Fiction
  • Holidays & Celebrations
  • Thanksgiving

  • We are so excited for this heart-warming new Thanksgiving kids’ book about a very kind and generous Turkey that shares his warm clothes with his barnyard friends on a very chilly day. ColdTurkey uses funny rhymes and giggly illustrations to teach youngsters about sharing and caring.
    Margarita Polkowska, B&N Reads
  • "Told in rhyme, this story features the concepts of friendship, sharing, and problem-solving. It’s a riotous read-aloud, packed with entertaining alliteration, onomatopoeia, and puns.... With a generous spirit and happy ending, this entertaining read-aloud is a worthy addition to preschool classrooms and early childhood library collections."
    School Library Journal
