Hello, my reading friends! I’m Annie, and I’m so happy you’re here to read with me. Today, we’re going to have fun learning how to train a turkey! Do you have a pet at home? Have you ever tried to teach it tricks? Let’s see what it’s like to train a turkey named Tookie!
This is Tookie, our turkey friend. Training a turkey is a big job, but don’t worry, I’ll show you how. The first thing we try to teach Tookie is how to shake, sit, and fetch. Let’s see how he does!
“Tookie, shake my wing!” Hmm, he’s still learning. “Tookie, sit!” Oh dear, he’s still working on that too. “Tookie, fetch!” Maybe we’ll try something else.
Tookie loves playing on his tablet. He could do it all day! “Tookie, don’t you think you’ve had enough?” But he’s not listening! Let’s try playing a game instead.
How about a game of hide and seek? You hide, and I’ll count to three. One, two, three! Ready or not, here I come! Hmm, maybe hide and seek isn’t the best game for Tookie. Let’s have a snack instead!
Tookie loves snack time, especially sweets! But too many sweets aren’t good for him. “Tookie, eat your peas and carrots, and then you can have one sweet.” Gobble gobble! See, it works!
Now, let’s talk about potty training. Tookie needs to learn how to use the toilet properly. “Tookie, show them how it’s done!” Oops, that’s not right! It’s important to give Tookie a bath too. “Tookie, time for a bath!”
Tookies don’t like baths much, so we have to make it fun. “Okay, Tookie, you can bring one toy with you in the bathtub.” Let’s see if that helps!
Next, let’s try some math. “Tookie, what’s one plus one?” Oh no, Tookie thinks it’s a triangle! Let’s try again. “One plus one is not ice cream!” Maybe that’s enough math for today.
It’s nap time, but getting Tookie to nap is tricky. Where did he go? What a mess! Tookie never cleans up, so I have to do it. Phew, I’m tired now!
Wow, training a turkey is hard work! Maybe having a pet turkey isn’t the best idea. But I hope you had fun reading with me today. See you next time for another adventure!
Turkey Training Role Play: Gather your friends or family and take turns pretending to be Tookie the Turkey and the trainer. Use simple commands like “shake,” “sit,” and “fetch,” and see how well you can follow them. Discuss what makes it easy or hard to follow these commands. How does it feel to be the trainer versus being Tookie?
Healthy Snack Sorting: Create a snack time similar to Tookie’s. Gather different types of snacks, including healthy options like fruits and vegetables, and some sweets. Sort them into two groups: “Healthy Snacks” and “Treats.” Talk about why it’s important to eat more from the healthy group and how treats can be enjoyed in moderation.
Observation Walk: Go on a short walk around your neighborhood or garden and observe any animals you see. Try to notice their behaviors. Are they playing, eating, or resting? Think about how you might train them like Tookie. What would you teach them, and how would you do it?

**How to Train Your Turkey**
Written and illustrated by V Moaw
Welcome to your voice day at Turkey Training! I am excited to be your instructor. Now, owning a turkey is a big responsibility, but don’t worry, I will teach you everything I know. Shall we begin?
This is a turkey, and his name is also Tookie. I know, how original, right? Anyway, the first thing you should teach a turkey is how to shake, sit, and fetch.
Tookie, shake my wing! Um, we are still working on that one. Tookie, sit! Come on, turkey, sit! Still working on that one too. Tookie, fetch!
I think we should move on to the next lesson. I should warn you, Tookie loves to play on his tablet. In fact, he could do this all day long.
Tookie, don’t you think you had enough? You see this? He’s not even listening! Tookie, get off your tablet!
Why don’t we play a game instead? How about we play hide and seek? You’ll go ahead and hide while I count to three. One, two, three! Ready or not, here I come!
On second thought, hide and seek is not a good game to play with your Tookie. How about we get a snack instead?
Did I mention Tookie loves snack time? Tookie, what have I told you about sweets? Too much is bad for you! As you can see, Tookie loves sweets.
Yeah, eat this instead; it’s good for you. Sometimes you have to give him a reward for eating healthy. Tookie, you can have one sweet if you eat your peas and carrots. Gobble gobble! You see? It works like a charm.
Now we’re going to cover an important part of your turkey training: potty training. You will need to teach your turkey how to properly use the toilet.
Tookie, show them how it’s done. No, Tookie, that’s not what the toilet is for! You should take a bath. Where is that silly Tookie going?
It’s important to bathe your Tookie at least once a month. I can’t remember. I said a bath, not on my bed! Come on, bad turkey!
Tookies usually don’t like to bathe, so you’ll have to encourage them. That’s how I do it. Okay, Tookie, you get one toy to bring with you in the bathtub. Choose one!
I forgot to mention that Tookie’s terrible at following instructions. Let’s move on to the next lesson. Your Tookie training should include some arithmetic.
Okay, Tookie, solve this: one plus one equals… wrong! One plus one does not equal a triangle! Try again! One plus one does not equal an ice cream!
I think we’ve had enough math for today. Wait a second, isn’t it your nap time? Getting your turkey to take a nap is always a challenge.
Now, where did that silly Tookie go? What a mess! Tookie never cleans up; I always have to do it for him.
Finished! Oh, and now I’m exhausted. I just need one minute to rest. Huh? Did you make this mess? No, it wasn’t us!
Right, reading friends? If it wasn’t you, then who could it be? Tookie! I give up; it’s impossible to train a Tookie. Do yourself a favor: don’t ever get a pet turkey!
I don’t know about you, but that book convinced me not to get a pet turkey anytime soon. I hope you enjoyed our story today. See you next time!
