Celebrate the launch of Turkey Goes to School with the author Wendy Silvano and illustrator Lee Harper on August 9 at 5 pm MT!

About the Book: Turkey is off to school--or is he?--in this addition to the much-loved Turkey Trouble series.

School is starting soon and Turkey can't wait. Each day, he and his barnyard friends practice their writing and math. But when the school bus rolls up, they are booted off. It turns out that animals aren't allowed to attend school. Pig calls it "hogwash," and Turkey agrees. All he has to do is find a way to show the students and the principal that turkeys--and their friends--do belong in school. With a gobble, gobble here; a gobble, gobble there; and a few clever costumes, he just might.

About the Author: Wendi Silvano was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has lived in Oregon, Colorado, and Peru. The author of the Turkey Trouble series, she has a BA in early childhood education and taught preschool and elementary school for eleven years. She is the mother of five children and the owner of an assortment of odd pets that are not nearly as clever as Turkey. She now writes from her home in Colorado, where she enjoys hiking, reading, and playing the piano. Visit her online at www.wendisilvano.com.
