Pre-Owned Gus, the Pilgrim Turkey

Gus loves being a turkey, that is, until his friends tell him about Thanksgiving. Pilgrims--no problem; feast-- NO WAY So Gus heads south, the way birds do, to escape being part of someone's dinner. He's surprised to see where he ends up, but most of all he's surprised to find he's a Pilgrim, too Teresa Bateman's spunky Gus is perfectly captured by Ellen Sasaki's sassy pictures. Children will laugh at loud at this new turkey tale, perfect for Thanksgiving and story hours year-round. The author is from Washington State. The illustrator is from California.
