I would recommend this book for vegan and vegetarian children and families. Yes, the story is didactic, but it’s done with humor and heart, and I enjoyed it. The illustrations aren’t amazing, but they’re colorful and engaging, and a few are very amusing, and I think they’re fun. The poem has some hiccups but it’s still fun and enjoyable to read aloud. I appreciated that the kids were a multicultural bunch. This is a funny and heartfelt story of 8 children saving 8 turkeys, all ending up guests at their family’s apparently vegan Thanksgiving dinners.
