Everyone wants to feel special on their birthday and all Turkey wishes for is a pizza party. With help from his farmyard friends, Turkey is at it again with his almost perfect costumes as he attempts to determine what is going on in the back yard.

Another entertaining read in the Turkey Trouble series by Wendi Silvano! Kids of all ages can relate to Turkey's excitement about his birthday and curiosity about what is going on in the farmer's backyard. With colorful illustrations and creative costumes, Turkey and his friends show that sometimes you just have to wait to find out what surprises are in store.

This was the perfect book to read to my son as his 6th birthday approaches next week. He loves the language repetition in this book series and I enjoy the play on words that he is too young to pick up on quite yet. I purchased a print copy from my local bookseller as this is one I just have to add to our family library!

Wendi Silvano continues her silly series featuring Turkey in disguise. This time Turkey is attempting to sneak into the backyard on his birthday. He simply must know what the farmer and his family have planned.
His barnyard friends are always willing to help him find a new disguise. To follow the birthday theme they help him dress up as a cupcake, a candle, a piñata and more. Each time he looks like the item in question… almost.
Full of silly puns and darling artwork this is another book I will need to add to the Turkey collection. I already have Silvano’s original, Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, and Easter editions.
Grateful to NetGalley and Two Lions for providing me with a digital ARC. All thoughts are my own. I’m an original fan.

This book is a really cute book for kids! It teaches patience and how to wait for things because it might be a surprise in the end, and nobody wants to ruin surprises. I may even buy for a couple kids in my family. Great book to read around Thanksgiving too, since it is a turkey and all!

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book.

Silly Turkey is at it again. In this story Turkey wants a birthday party. He looks at his friends and the farmer family and they are all acting like its just another day.

So Turkey decides to spy on the farmers and dresses up in many costumes. The illustrations are fantastic and the costumes are creative.
I liked how his animal friends helped him come up with ideas on which disguise to try next.

And the ending was cute.

Kids will really enjoy this wonderful addition to the Turkey series.
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this e arc here's my honest review.
highly recommended.

I read this book with my daughter and we both really enjoyed it

I liked the illustrations, they were very cute and in keeping with the story.

We liked the mix of characters and how they worked together and came up with different ideas on how to sneak in to see if there really was a surprise pizza party being planned for Turkey!

It is 4 stars from me for this one - highly recommended!

All of the farm animals are lively friends of Turkey who really wants a pizza party for his birthday.
The illustrations by the Lee Harper are clear, easily recognizable, imaginative, colorful, and FUN.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to EVERYONE, but especially to a school, hospital, or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary EARC on Adobe Digital Editions from Two Lions Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!

'Turkey's Birthday Bath' is a sweet story about persistence to a fault, but in a fun way! With the humorous story and entertaining characters, this is definitely a series I could see children obsessing over. The illustrations are so lovely.

This is an adorable picture book that would make an awesome Christmas gift! Not only is the story precious but the fact that it is based on a true story with a very happy ending makes it a must have book for new pet owners. The authors' generosity in sharing Suzy's life with their readers is extremely endearing and I envision this book as a Hallmark movie,

Kids rating- 5 stars
According to my son, I like how it's like the other books. I like the pictures.

Teacher rating - 4 stars
It was similar to Turkey Trouble. The familiar characters and predictable plot make this a fun little read. There are many homonyms and idioms which could be used as a teaching tool, however, this book would be awful for a student just learning English, especially with the puns. Fantastic illustrations, would make a fun birthday gift for a kid 4-8.

Another fun story about Turkey and the gang! This time around, it’s Turkey’s birthday and he really wants a pizza party. His barnyard friends try to sneak him into the backyard in different costumes to see if maybe, just maybe, there’s a pizza party in progress for him. It was fun and silly, just like the other Turkey books!

I received an electronic ARC from Two Lions through NetGalley.
Turkey and his barnyard friends are back for another humorous adventure. This time it is Turkey's birthday and he really wants a pizza party. However, he can't figure out how to get to the area the farm family is decorating. His friends help him create disguises but nothing works. Finally, the surprise is revealed and Turkey has a wonderful time at his party. Love the detailed illustrations that can be studied over and over.

Really cute fun story! My son loved hearing the story and looking at the silly pictures! Turkey wants a pizza party for his birthday :). I’ve not read the Turkey Trouble series but looking forward to checking the series out with my son.

More antics from the loveable Turkey. Everyone seems to have forgotten his birthday and he's trying to give hints to his family that he wants a pizza party. He tries different costumes and things to give them reminders but they don't seem to be working. As usual this Turkey book is cleverly written with the great illustrations of him and his animal and human friends.
