Pardon Me, Please by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Julie Johnson

Pardon Me, Please by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Albert is a turkey on a turkey farm and it’s November. He’s becoming very concerned that all the people looking him over see him as food and not a pet. Albert would love to live a long healthy life making people happy but not on the dinner table! Then, Albert sees some hope. The President has just pardoned a turkey and wished him a long life. Maybe, just maybe, Albert can be pardoned too!!

This is a super cute book that is very timely! It discusses how turkeys are traditionally eaten at Thanksgiving, which gives the reader and opportunity to discuss with others or think for themselves about other options for a meal besides turkey. It also discusses voting, which also happens in November. The illustrations are very well done with lots of vivid colors. This is one of my all-time favorite children’s authors now that I’ve read several of her books. These are great to share with your kids/grandkids/daycare/preschool/etc and would make a great holiday gift!
