Our Review
Wham, yam, thank you ma’am – this book is a goldmine for this time of year!
One of the best parts about the holidays is finding fun books and stories to tell your kids but Thanksgiving-themed stories are becoming increasingly difficult to come across.
It’s brilliant to see the turkey running around during a school play – especially when the poor thing got stage fright! Thankfully, he got a huge cheer for his outfit. This book has the characteristically cute and engaging artwork as all the How to Catch series do, with the extra fun addition of kids wearing cool costumes!
With a happy and slightly unusual ending which will be sure to make your kids laugh, this is a brilliant read, perfect for the lovely atmosphere of Thanksgiving!
