"Just in time for Thanksgiving! A great classic J fiction about the most unlikely successful turkey shepherd and his faithful friends crossing the plains to the convergence of the South Platt and Cherry Creek."
"Funny! I like seeing from other reviews that kids genuinely like this book. Kids, if you're still not too old to read children's books, try "The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg" by Rodman Philbrick and "Call Me Mr. Tucket" by Gary Paulsen."
"This was juve. fiction, based on a real story about how turkeys were herded to Colorado during the days of the American Old West. I bet turkeys were harder to herd than cows. I wanted this one to be over yesterday."
"What a fun book! We read this at Thanksgiving and had no idea what a GREAT book it would be! But we were glad that our kids cannot read, as there was a bit of editing that we had to do (swearing is what I remember)."
