For the Birds

Turkey or chicken? Chicken or turkey? Pavo o pollo? Pollo o pavo? That's the biggest conundrum facing Miguel this Thanksgiving Holiday. How do you save the turkey you've fattened up and befriended from being the Thanksgiving meal??? Well... you sharpen your social skills, Tudygirls. You involve your abuelitos, abuelitas, tios, tias and the whole community, that's how! (Si, Tudylindas, mas grande el projecto, mas mejor!)
Gracias the Thanksgiving Turkey is a frolicking, cut-to-the-chase, page turner! Sprinkled with Spanish from beginning to end, you'll have a fiesta helping Miguel figure out ways to save his pet turkey, Gracias, from being the Thanksgiving feast. (Oh, can you just imagine???) And somewhere down the line, as you hablas a little Espanol, you'll realize your family, friends, and community play such an integral part of who you can be. (Look all around you, Tudygirls. You have a lot to be grateful for!)

,,,Bueno, vamonos los muchachos y las muchachas. Feast up on this turkey. Gracias the Thanksgiving Turkey is a tried and Tudy-true holiday keeper,,,
(Shhhhh ... no hay de que, Gracias!)
