Jenny is a curious girl who follows arrow-shaped footprints to a flock of funny-looking birds with big strong feet: wild turkeys! Fascinated with these comical birds, she watches them each season for an entire year. A new picture book, GOBBLE, GOBBLE, portrays Jenny's enchantment with wild turkeys and what she's learned about them. Cathryn's unique illustrations are block prints over collages. The collages are made from cut and torn paper plus all sorts of things from nature-bark, leaves, feathers, even wasp nests! The author also offers tips for children to make their own cut-paper pictures and how to keep a nature journal. Ages 3 to 8
