Learning Magazine Teachers’ Choice Award for Children’s Books
Gobble-gobble. Gobble-gobble.
What a horrible noise!
I can’t stand the sound of my voice !
Toodles doesn’t like herself. Her legs are skinny, her feathers are brown, and her head has no hair. Most of all, she hates her Gobble-gobble. All that changes when Toodles saves the day with her super-confident, super-empowering, super-turkey Gobble-gobble!
With lively rhymes and funny illustrations, this book will have kids laughing out loud while they learn to accept their own Gobble-gobbles.
An extensive Note to Parents relays additional information and strategies for helping kids overcome a lack of confidence and self-esteem.
