As the trip comes to an end, the children leave the farm with full hearts, bulging bellies reminding people and poultry alike that there is much to be thankful for. The children and turkeys giggle and gobble, and everything is gravy. On the night before Thanksgiving, a group of people visit a turkey farm and meet Farmer Mack Nuggett and his coop of cockerels: Ollie, Stanley, Larry, Moe, Wally, Beaver, Shemp, and Groucho. (Aug.Twas The Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey, with read aloud preformed by Simply Storytime. The next night, family silhouettes can be seen-each with a grateful turkey guest-as ``They feasted on veggies / With jelly and toast.'' This humorous, lighthearted story is adorned with bold, bright illustrations that convey a sense of wacky high-spiritedness sometimes lacking in traditional holiday fare. Deeply touched by the turkeys' plight, the children-who have grown mysteriously fatter and have feathers sticking out from under their clothes-board the bus to go back to the city. They are breathless as they catch sight of Farmer Mack Nuggett for the first time: ``He was dressed all in denim, / From his head to his toe, / With a pinch of polyester / And a dash of Velcro.'' The exuberant turkeys-Ollie, Stanley, Larry, Moe, Wally, Beaver and Groucho-catch the children up in raucous barnyard antics until the merriment is quelled by the sight of the ax. Patterned as a parody of the celebrated Clement Moore poem, this story of eight baby turkeys unfolds with joyous abandon and crackling vitality, as eight children embark on a Thanksgiving field trip that will change their lives forever.
