"Turkey Trouble" by Wendi Silvano
“Turkey is in trouble. Bad trouble. The kind of trouble where it's almost Thanksgiving . . . and you're the main course. But Turkey has an idea — what if he doesn't look like a turkey? What if he looks like another animal instead? After many hilarious attempts, Turkey comes up with the perfect disguise to make this Thanksgiving the best ever!”
You will have the book read to you by actor Marc Maron. He did such a great job; we hope you enjoy his reading as much as we did!

If you’re thankful and you know it, bounce up high!
If you’re thankful and you know it,
And you really want to show it.

If you’re thankful and you know it, bounce real fast!
If you’re thankful and you know it, bounce... real... slow...
If you’re thankful and you know it, blow a kiss!
ACTION RHYMES
Albuquerque The Turkey
(Tune: “Clementine”)
Albuquerque, he’s my turkey,
and he’s feathered and he’s fine
and he wobbles and he gobbles
and I’m awfully glad he’s mine.
He’s the best pet you could ever get
better than a dog or cat
Albuquerque, he’s my turkey
and I’m awfully glad of that.
Albuquerque, he’s my turkey
he’s so cozy in his bed
because for our Thanksgiving dinner
we ordered pizza instead!
I’m a Little Turkey
(Tune: “I’m A Little Teapot”)
I’m a little turkey,
My name is Ted.
Here are my feathers, here is my head
Gobble, gobble, gobble, is what I say
Quick! Run! It’s Thanksgiving Day!
Turkey in the Straw
(Tune: “Skip to My Lou”)
Turkey in the brown straw, ha, ha, ha,
Turkey in the brown straw, ha, ha, ha,
Turkey in the brown straw, ha, ha, ha.
Turkey in the straw, my darling.
Turkey in the white snow, ho, ho, ho,
Turkey in the white snow, ho, ho, ho,
Turkey in the white snow, ho, ho, ho.
Turkey in the snow, my darling.
Turkey in the blue sky, hi, hi, hi,
Turkey in the blue sky, hi, hi, hi,
Turkey in the blue sky, hi, hi, hi.
Turkey in the sky, my darling.
Turkey in the yellow corn, horn, horn, horn,
Turkey in the yellow corn, horn, horn, horn,
Turkey in the yellow corn, horn, horn, horn.
Turkey in the corn, my darling.

Turkey in the green tree, hee, hee, hee,
Turkey in the green tree, hee, hee, hee.
Turkey in the tree, my darling.
Did You Ever See a Turkey?
(Tune: "Did You Ever See a Lassie?")
Did you ever see a turkey, a turkey, a turkey,
Did you ever see a turkey run this way and that?
Run this way and that way
And on Thanksgiving Day!
Did you ever see a turkey run quite that fast?
