Description
In a quiet little glade in the middle of the wood,
Lived a quirky little turkey who was up to no good!
Bound and determined to outshine the other turkeys, Quirky lands himself in dangerous situation...again and again. Will he listen to his friends as they use kindness and courage to show him that true beauty is not found in how we look on the outside but from what is in our hearts? Or, will his pride be the end of him?
Author Toni Wilson, drawing on her teaching expertise, has crafted Quirky the Turkey with all the essentials educators love in classroom books: vibrant illustrations, engaging read-alouds that invite student participation, and key academic concepts like rhyme, rhythm, prediction, and color recognition. Teachers and parents can also expand the learning with free resources available on the His Arrowsmith website.
Inspired by the character lessons found in beloved classics like The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister and Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena, Quirky the Turkey combines whimsical rhymes with playful humor reminiscent of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. This lively, colorful story will have children laughing while they learn the timeless truth that true beauty shines from within.
