![]() ![]() ![]() The next night, family silhouettes can be seen-each with a grateful turkey guest-as ``They feasted on veggies / With jelly and toast.'' This humorous, lighthearted story is adorned with bold, bright illustrations that convey a sense of wacky high-spiritedness sometimes lacking in traditional holiday fare. ![]() Deeply touched by the turkeys' plight, the children-who have grown mysteriously fatter and have feathers sticking out from under their clothes-board the bus to go back to the city. They are breathless as they catch sight of Farmer Mack Nuggett for the first time: ``He was dressed all in denim, / From his head to his toe, / With a pinch of polyester / And a dash of Velcro.'' The exuberant turkeys-Ollie, Stanley, Larry, Moe, Wally, Beaver and Groucho-catch the children up in raucous barnyard antics until the merriment is quelled by the sight of the ax. Patterned as a parody of the celebrated Clement Moore poem, this story of eight baby turkeys unfolds with joyous abandon and crackling vitality, as eight children embark on a Thanksgiving field trip that will change their lives forever. /rebates/2f97805310590502ftwas-Night-Before-Thanksgiving-Pilkey-05310590572fplp&.
