Turkey Goes to School

Publisher: Two Lions
Ages 3-7
40 pages

Turkey is off to school—or is he?—in this addition to the much-loved Turkey Trouble series.

School is starting soon and Turkey can’t wait. Each day, he and his barnyard friends practice their writing and math. But when the school bus rolls up, they are booted off. It turns out that animals aren’t allowed to attend school. Pig calls it “hogwash,” and Turkey agrees. All he has to do is find a way to show the students and the principal that turkeys—and their friends—do belong in school. With a gobble, gobble here; a gobble, gobble there; and a few clever costumes, he just might.

Turkey Goes to School Book Review

Turkey Goes to School is another fun, silly book in the Turkey Trouble series. It’s back to school time, and the animals can’t understand why they’re not allowed to attend! After all, the first week of school is all about the farm. In true Turkey form, he dons some disguises that are sure to get him into the school!

Do his disguises work? This book disguise is pretty good, but, no, Turkey can’t fool the teacher!

Your little ones will love Turkey Goes to School. It’s so silly, and the illustrations really bring this story to life. I love all of the little details that the illustrator adds, so be sure to look carefully at the pages with your kids. You’ll all have a great time reading about Turkey’s latest adventure. I highly recommend this and all of the books in the Turkey Trouble series!

    That’s a long long time ago. I think it was cows and back then we never had any animals in class.

      I think we might have had a fish. Nowadays it seems every class has at least one pet!

    I was obsessed with dairy cows when I was in elementary school! I even wrote a research report on cows (non fiction).

    My favorite farm animal as a child was a pig. I really liked Charlotte’s Web and hated spiders. So I was left with the pig.

    No animals, a few bugs I think. Like a Praying Mantis, butterfly cocoon, and possibly some lady bugs to hatch.

    My favorite farm animal as a child were cows. I had a friend who lived on a farm so when I would visit her I would help milk them. We didn’t have any animals in our classroom.
