Beauty and the Beaks: A Turkey's Cautionary Tale

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Jane Auch & Herm Auch. After beauty shop proprietor Beauty, a chicken, learns that customer Lance, a turkey, has been marked for a farmer's Thanksgiving dinner, she decides to use her skills as a beautician to disguise him. The pun-filled text ("eggsclusive"; "Wattle I do?") and over-the-top art--hand-sewn and sculpted creations festooned with feathers--are a bit too eggstreme and would have benefited from a little restraint.
