Turkey Pox Rocks

I read this book to my preschool class this year and they loved it! It's fun to change your voice for the various characters. Definitely a good read aloud for young children!

Miss Breier's Second Grade in Waterville loves Turkey Pox!

Turkey Pox is not your average Thanksgiving story. It's about a girl named Charity who gets the Chicken Pox on Thanksgiving. Her family has to cancel their trip to Nana's for Thanksgiving dinner, so Nana brings Thanksgiving dinner to them. There are many funny parts in this story, especially when we learned about what turkey pox were! The pictures help make the story hilarious. We think kids would love reading this book because all kids get the chicken pox. We think the author and illustrator worked very hard to come up with a creative story.

Cute Book

This is a really cute book for small children. I read it to the children I babysit and they just loved it. They especially liked the pictures, and I reccomend this book. It really holds children's attention!
