True Story: It was Thanksgiving time.
A flock of wild turkeys were seen on the platform of a suburban train station. Sara Swan Miller, a children's book author, asked herself: why were they there? Sara thought about that question, and a few more like it: Were they going somewhere? Were they trying to get away from some place, or some person? Did they just want to take a train ride? There was nobody around who could answer those questions. So Sara made up her own answers, and wrote this funny little book in order to explain Turkeys on the Train.
Sara Swan Miller is also the author of OH, CATS OF CAMP RABBITBONE and AT THE RABBITBONE RESTAURANT
