Review: Find and Kill the Turkey
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book could have been an excellent book for the 1-3 year old children had the author focused on finding the turkey in the numerous illustrations. Unfortunately, the author also focused on cooking the turkey in an oven. I cannot imagine that children would have fun finding the turkey only to pop it in an oven for dinner. On the other hand, if the child is mature for his or her age and somewhat gifted, he or she might not be bother at all about playing the game of finding the turkeys in illustrations and then eating them. The illustrations are really good at hiding the turkeys in bedspreads, clock faces, on bookshelves and in the scarecrow's pocket and so on. I suppose the fruits and vegetables illustrations in a find-game format was added for increasing vocabulary and fostering interest in verbal skills. They seemed out of place to me, but might not bother you or your child or children. Overall, the book should be a lot of fun for the child or children. But you should be aware that after finding the turkeys, a few are depicted in the oven and on the table ready to be eaten.Papa DeanAuthor of Revenge of the Video Game
