Turkey Dash Before Dinner

A goofy turkey sprints across the page, wings stretched high like he might lift right off. His eyes pop wide, and his beak forms a big O while the wattle wiggles. Fan-shaped tail feathers spread behind him in neat panels. Strong legs kick out, each scaly foot flashing three quick toes.

Bold lines trace his speeding body, leaving roomy spaces for bright fall colors. Little motion swishes show how fast he pumps those wings. With no background to crowd him, he steals the spotlight as he hurries by. He looks surprised but safe, like he is racing friends on a crisp Thanksgiving morning.

Fun Fact!

The turkey is the most iconic bird of the Thanksgiving meal.
