Although this is a book of counting backwards from ten to 1, even older kids will enjoy reading about the antics of these ten fat turkeys on a fence. With the phrase, "Gobble Gobble Wibble Wobble," each turkey tries to do a death-defying stunt, only to fall to the ground. One foofy turkey wearing an aviator's cap tries to fly higher than the clouds, one goofy turkey dressed like the star of a roller derby team tries to skate on the fence, and one goony turkey wearing a boot on ...more

Ha--a good laugh and a good counting book around Thanksgiving. The pictures might be a little busy for the toddler age, but I'm hoping the counting will keep them occupied.
11/9/10 I decided to skip this one in toddler because of time (and comprehension level). The special needs group really liked it though. I didn't bother with the counting but went for the silly antics instead. Still worked. Perhaps another time I'll do this for the counting aspect with the preschool age.

This is a great little board book that tells the tale of 10 turkeys who each do their turn of dancing on a fence and then falling off. There is a constant repetition of the verse…Gobble, gobble, wibble, wobble that will bring a giggle to the young ones. The pictures are very colorful and will be appealing to the little tykes as well.
This is a cute book about ten fat turkeys that are acting silly while sitting on a bench all the while counting down from 10 to 1. I really liked this book and it can be used in the classroom to introduce to younger students counting down from 10 to 1.
This book is about 10 fat turkeys sitting on a fence. Each one does something funny and ends up falling off the fence. This book is fun because the turkeys are wacky, but the ending leaves it wide open to make up another story.

Read this to a group of toddlers this morning for toddler time at the library and I've gotta say, it's a crowd pleaser for very young children....it's a simple counting book and the turkey's a so, so silly.....
Very fun book with great rhythm and rhyme. We have read it twice in two days and I think the kids would be happy if I said, "Let's read this one again!". As a "counting" book, I liked that it goes backward.
This is a great book to read around thanksgiving when turkey is on everyone's minds. It's nonsensical words are good for making children laugh.
This is adorable. Once you read it and read it again you (well atleast I did) try to read it faster each time. The kids love it!
thanksgiving is around the corner great to read while the bird is cooking.
I am now enjoying rating children's books! This one is super cute and funny!
good for number sequencing and counting backwards. Great illustrations
My kids love the rhyming text and bright, fun illustrations.
Counting board book with some adventurous fat turkeys. Cute.
I think I just really like the 'gobble gobble wibble wobble'!
This is a fun thanksgiving book!

I have a string of Thanksgiving books that I read to my daughter and my second graders. These will be quick reviews based on the reactions of my daughter and students. I put the date the same for each book, but I really read them in the week leading up to Thanksgiving, and on Thanksgiving Day. Under the how many times I've read it category, that will be how many Thanksgivings I've used this book.
This is fun and funny. The kids like it.

Read this to the Kindergarten kids today and they loved it. They actually asked if I could read it again, so we'll be looking at it again this week. They had fun counting backwards as the turkeys fell off the fence.
This book is very funny and can be read any time of the year.
Kids really responded well to the rime in this book.
Silly - but Madelyn liked it.
