Book Reviews of 10 Fat Turkeys
Book Review: Nonsense delight!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this book because it is funny, teaches subtracting, and because I can use it to discuss with children--"What do you think happened?" I love the illustrations and bright colors used. And any fun book with a way to teach another lesson is an added bonus!Book Review: Silly & Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're looking for a serious book about Thanksgiving, then 10 Fat Turkeys is not the book for you. This book is about ten fat turkeys walking along a fence, when one by one they fall, break the fence, and perch on a tree instead. It's funny, and intended to appeal to the very young, or young at heart. The illustrations are bright, and bold, and will appeal to young children say 1 to 5-years. My son laughs when I read this book, and now at five he's starting to read it to himself.
10 Fat Turkey's mimics the pattern in Melanie Gerth's, Ten Little Ladybugs, although Gerth's book is sweet, this work is just plain silly.
10 fat turkeys fooling on a fence.
"Looky!" says a silly turkey, swinging from a vine.
GOBBLE GOBBLE WIBBLE WOBBLE whoops! Now there are...9.
It's a lesson in simple subtraction, and one we enjoy reading after Halloween. It's not a Thanksgiving book per se, there is no mention of the holiday, or even the season. It just a fun, nonsense book for little tykes.
Book Review: Silly, and not in a good way.
Summary: 1 Stars
I try to get my girls (ages 3 and 1.5)books for every holiday and saw the good reviews on this one. After reading it once, they had no interest in it and I can see it won't be one of the ones they want to read over and over. Not that I can blame them, the rhymes make no sense! There are many better Thanksgiving books out there, don't waste your money on this one.Book Review: Thanksgiving book
Summary: 5 Stars
My 3 year old granddaughter loved this book. She quickly caught onto the rhyming of the book and could finish the lines by looking at the illustrations. The book is predictable but, in using the Thanksgiving theme, makes for an interesting book.Book Review: Too Weird for my Toddlers
Summary: 2 Stars
We thought this book was just too strange. The rhymes were very contrived--hope that makes sense. I'm going to donate it to the library in hopes others will check it out before purchasing it.
