From the publisher

The Mitten meets How to Catch a Turkey in this absurd-yet-heartwarming read-aloud that’s perfect for Thanksgiving–or anytime you’re feeling ch-ch-chilly! Turkey woke up c-c-cold. He wheezed, “It’s ten degrees!” I need to b-b-bundle up, before I f-f-freeze!” Sheep is shivering, Chicken is chilly, and Cow is quivering! Lucky for them, bundled-up Turkey is generous and shares his warm clothes with each of his barnyard friends. But once he’s down to just his birthday suit, what’s a cold turkey to do? (Not to worry–his friends will have him toasty again in no time!) With rollicking rhythm and giggle-inducing illustrations, this heartwarming story of kindness is sure to be a hit with young readers at Thanksgiving, through snowy winter months, and all year-round!
