About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is caught up in a moment of vanity or when you want to use humor to discuss the importance of listening to friends who have your back. It is a perfect choice for kids who enjoy fractured fairy tales and slapstick comedy, offering a lighthearted way to talk about self-perception and safety. In this quirky reimagining, Lance the turkey is so blinded by his own 'beauty' and the flattery of an invitation to a feast that he fails to see he is intended to be the main course. It is up to his clever hen friend, Beauty, to stage a rescue. While the plot involves the threat of being eaten, the tone remains hilariously absurd through the use of unique digital illustrations. It is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate a good visual joke and a story where brains triumph over ego.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with the 'predator and prey' dynamic common in farmyard tales. The threat of being eaten is treated metaphorically and through the lens of slapstick humor rather than realistic peril. It is entirely secular and ends with a triumphant, safe resolution.
