Excerpt of Text of Book Included:
"I can walk like a turkey,
on my skinny turkey feet.
I can flap like a turkey...
and move my wings to the beat.
I can bob like a turkey --
with my wobbly, wobbly head.
I can shake like a turkey

I can peck like a turkey--
and use my beak to eat all day.
And when it is Thanksgiving,
I can run and run away!"
