Review

A Thanksgiving themed entry in the Judy Moody & Stink series centered on the town's annual Turkey Trot race which both Judy and Stink are training for. Judy is so sure that she will win the first prize of the fat, juicy turkey, especially after the wishbone breaks in her favor over Stink, that she tells Grandma Lou to skip buying a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. McDonald's funny dialogue and sister/brother antics will make this a sure-fire hit with readers. The well-done, colored illustrations will help pull in reluctant readers and the large font on white background make it easy for early readers to transition to chapter books.

Overall Book Score: good
