Turkey Trouble Review and Activities
Turkey Trouble !
Turkey Trouble by Wendi J. Silvano is a hilarious and unforgettable tale for Thanksgiving. Many people enjoy and look forward to the holidays, and for many in North America, Thanksgiving means sharing a big meal with friends and family – including a large turkey as the main dish. We would love to know what kinds of food you share and enjoy with your family! In the meantime, while you wait for Thanksgiving to arrive, we hope you’ll read this delightful romp with your students!
What happens when Turkey finds out that Thanksgiving is fast approaching? Why, trying to be anything but yourself, that’s what! Turkey tries dressing up as many different animals in this absolutely hilarious story. Your students will enjoy seeing this trouble turkey try on different identities! We loved that this story explores all the sounds and colors seen around the farm.

You can also add fun and cute cutout turkeys!
