About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to transform a high energy moment into a playful learning session or when your toddler is curious about the festive sights of the holiday season. This tactile board book follows five silly turkeys as they engage in ridiculous activities like dancing and sunbathing, disappearing one by one until only the reader is left to celebrate. It is a lighthearted introduction to subtraction and counting. While the turkeys are the stars, the real draw is the interactive sensory experience. The bright colors and rhyming text capture a child's attention, while the fabric tail feathers provide a soothing tactile element for busy hands. It is an ideal choice for parents seeking a festive, low pressure way to build early numeracy and vocabulary during the Thanksgiving season.

A two year old who is beginning to recognize numbers and enjoys tactile stimulation. It is perfect for a child who likes to 'do' something with their hands while being read to.
Parent Prep
