BOOK NOOK REVIEWS: Wendi Silvano









Title: Turkey Claus
Author: Wendi Silvano
Illustrator: Lee Harper
Publisher: Amazon Children's Publishing 
Ages: 4 to 8

Synopsis: Turkey is on his way to ask for Santa's help to stay off the holiday menu.  But getting in to see Santa at Christmastime isn't as easy as Turkey expected. It's going to take all his ideas and a clever disguise to find a way into Santa's house.

Why you should read it: Wendi sent me her hilarious picture book, TURKEY TROUBLE, last year for my FREE Author Promotion event so when I discovered she had another adventure with Turkey, of course I had to read it! Ms. Silvano has teamed up again with illustrator Lee Harper to share a fun story of poor Turkey's plight in trying to stay off the holiday menu by asking Santa for help. Turkey's Christmas Tree disguise is my favorite and the solution to the holiday main dish problem is cute!

Like-O-Meter Rating: 5 out of 5...grab it!

Title: Turkey Trouble
Author: Wendi Silvano
Illustrator: Lee Harper
Publisher: Amazon's Children's Publishing
Ages 4-8

"Turkey was in trouble. Bad trouble. The kind of trouble where it's almost Thanksgiving...and you're the main course. But Turkey had an idea..."



Synopsis: Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Turkey fears for his future, but he has a plan. Maybe if he disguises himself as another animal, the farmer won't come looking for him to become the main course! 


Why you should read it: Whimsical illustrations support an engaging story young readers will want read to them again and again. Ms. Silvano has managed to take an age old topic and add a new twist. And you can't help but laugh at the surprise ending...
