A hilariously fun read-aloud picture book where children think quickly and creatively to disguise a group of turkeys and save them from becoming Thanksgiving dinner! 

It’s Thanksgiving Day and Farmer Byrd’s Turkey & Vegetable Farm is expecting business, but a surprisingly empty pen has the farmer declaring, “No turkeys for sale!”
