Beauty and the Beaks: A Turkey's Cautionary Tale

The images in this book are photographs of actual puppets, different view and visually stimulating. Also great humor is also included. Great for upper elementary grades, my 5th graders loved it. The turkey gets invited to a special feast and feels honored because he is the only one invited, but the chickens in the hen house figure out why and develop a plan to save him. I would recommend this read before the holiday season. I connected a persuasive writing assignment with it.....a fun one.
Lance the turkey lands in the chicken coop for a week on his way to the big feast. When Beauty discovers that he is the main event and not the main guest, they hatch up a plan to hide Lance and save his life. Clever.
Lance the turkey has been invited to an exclusive feast. Turns out, he is more than the guest of honor, he is the main course. The hens work their beauty shop magic to fool the farmer.
I'm a sucker for poultry stories what can I say? If puns make you queasy though-stay away from the Auchs.
Fairly hilarious!
Standard "turkey doesn't get he's invited to the feast as the main course" theme, but with lots of funny twists as only Auch can provide them. Way too many puns for my taste, but then I'm not an early elementary age kid, the clear audience for this book.

Mary Jane Auch also writes as MJ Auch.
The thought of becoming a writer never occurred to MJ Auch as a child. Her only literary efforts in those days were the plays which she and her girlfriend, Noreen, wrote for their marionettes. They produced these extravaganzas in Noreen’s garage and organized the neighborhood boys into a sales force to sell tickets and refreshments.
