On the day before Thanksgiving, a group of children visit a turkey farm and meet Farmer Mack Nuggett and his coop of cockerels: Ollie, Stanley, Larry, Moe, Wally, Beaver, Shemp, and Groucho. The children and turkeys giggle and gobble, and everything is gravy. As the trip comes to an end, the children leave the farm with full hearts -- and bulging bellies -- reminding people and poultry alike that there is much to be thankful for.

See Inside the Book

A group of schoolchildren and their teacher board a yellow school bus on a blustery fall day. They arrive at a turkey farm and are greeted by a farmer and his turkeys. The children and the turkeys run and play together with arms and wings and smiles spread wide as they frolic and fly.
