Publisher Description
Bad moods, good moods, even back-to-school moods – Judy has them all! This internationally popular and bestselling series by Megan McDonald, illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds is perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson's younger fiction and Lauren Child. The town’s Thanksgiving festival is coming up, and Judy and Stink are training to win the annual Turkey Trot race. Judy has decided that she is going to take home the big prize: a fat, juicy turkey - the perfect centerpiece for any Thanksgiving table. But what if they don’t win? Will the Moody family end up starving on Thanksgiving day, or will Grandma Lou cook up a tasty solution?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Back to share top billing in the fourth Judy Moody and Stink story, the Moody siblings gear up for the local Gobblers-a-Go-Go festival: Judy plans to dress up as Sarah Josepha Hale, the woman who persuaded President Lincoln to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. And Judy is so certain she'll win a footrace that boasts a turkey as top prize, she tells her grandmother not to bother buying one (which worries Stink mightily). As in the siblings' previous outings, their spot-on dialogue and banter is a major source of this book's fun ("I'm sorry I called you a turkey," Stink apologizes after a long stint in time-out. "And a snood. And a wattle"), and Reynolds's full-color illustrations easily tap into the upbeat, offbeat holiday mood. Ages 6 9.
