Booklist10/03/2025, 03:38 PMTurkeys in Disguise is an adorable tale of budding vegetarianism. The illustrations are vibrant and colorful while still nodding toward a seasonally appropriate fall palette. Kids moved by the themes in the classic Charlotte's Web might appreciate this sillier take. A charming choice for a holiday read.

Publishers Weekly10/03/2025, 03:28 PMJaunty rhymes chronicle a group of kids’ efforts to save a local flock of turkeys from becoming dinner in this message-forward Thanksgiving book. Crayon-like detailing gives Cleland’s over-the-top digital renderings a grade-school vibe as expressive children of various skin tones gleefully pull off their ruse. Luckily, all seem to agree: “Vegetarian-style meal?/ Think that has some great appeal!"
