From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-This handsome, information-packed book details the life and habits of the wild turkey, including what it eats, how it raises its young, and where it is found. At first glance, the full-page watercolors and brief text suggest that the book was designed for preschoolers. However, although the facts are presented clearly and succinctly, the somewhat sophisticated vocabulary makes it better suited to slightly older children. Inserts of text and pictures provide detail on each topic. Many of the illustrations are actual-size representations, so readers can get a precise idea of just how big a turkey's egg or footprint really is. The lack of an index and glossary may pose a slight problem, but the text is well organized and finding the required facts should not be too difficult. This will best serve the needs of children seeking information for reports, but the eye-catching art and informative text should draw its share of casual readers as well.

From Booklist
Ages 6^-9. In the latest addition to the All About series, Arnosky talks turkey--wild turkey. Double-page spreads fill the pages with pictures of turkeys moving about in their habitats; details of head, feet, and feathers; and a North American map showing their range. The "read aloud" text concerning the bird's appearance and habits appears in fairly large print, and more detailed information relating to pictures appears in smaller type, as long captions. As in Arnosky's other books, the attractive watercolor paintings give young children plenty to observe as the informative text is read. A good resource for libraries. Carolyn Phelan
