A bored sheep. A pile of poo. Then along comes Quirky Turkey, a gullible gobbler if there ever was one. A brief exchange leads Quirky Turkey to ask, “What’s that?” Little Baa Baa explains that the pile of pellets is “smarty tablets,” which make one “More intelligent … Brainier.” Not only that, but they’re free for turkeys. And so even though they look like poo, and smell like poo, Quirky Turkey gobbles them up. “Oh no … it IS poo!” cries Quirky Turkey. “See, you’re getting smarter already!” A hilarious picture book is told almost entirely through the two characters’ speech bubble dialogue, which features a masterful demonstration of evasion and subterfuge on the part of Little Baa Baa, and a variety of evocative facial expressions on the googly-eyed bird and wide-eyed, wise-guy sheep. Scatalogical humor isn’t for everyone, but for those who find it funny this offering is priceless. (Ages 5–10)
