Turkeys in Disguise
illustrated by Josh Cleland
It's Thanksgiving Day and Farmer Byrd's Turkey & Vegetable Farm is expecting business, but a surprisingly empty pen has the farmer declaring, "No turkeys for sale!"
Follow along as a group of kids get crafty and decide to save some turkeys by coming up with a cornucopia of creative and silly disguises for their feathered friends.
Inspired by the popular Thanksgiving school activity of creating paper disguises for the turkey, this lower-priced hardcover picture book is perfect for the classroom and for story time at home.

Reviews
A 2026 Sid Fleischman HumorAward Finalist
"Humor abounds as each ridiculous disguise fools the grown-ups. The well-matched text and art are lighthearted throughout, and the warmhearted ending does not disappoint. Fun for vegetarians and omnivores alike.”
Kirkus Reviews
"Kids moved by the themes in the classic Charlotte's Web might appreciate this sillier take. A charming choice for a holiday read.”
Booklist
"Jaunty rhymes chronicle a group of kids' efforts to save a local flock of turkeys from becoming dinner.”
