The trip to a turkey farm is an exciting visit, but the kids all feel sorry for the turkeys, and after seeing and petting the turkeys, they really will not want to eat one. They all agree that they will probably eat peanut butter for Thanksgiving dinner.

Sonny Betz talks his mother into buying a turkey for him to take home as a pet. At the next meeting of the Pee Wee Scouts, Sonny is leading his turkey named Tiger on a red leash, and decides to build a birdhouse for Tiger, to earn a birdhouse building badge. Some of the other kids are happy to help with that project, because it will have to be a very large birdhouse to fit Tiger.

Their main project is the Thanksgiving play, but Molly is very nervous about that... she just is not an actor, and she is sure that she will forget her lines, and everyone will laugh and make fun of her. She's especially worried when she finds out that the mayor will be there to see her ruin the play.

The late Judy Delton really knew kids, and had a real flair for writing a great story that keeps kids laughing and turning the pages. Peanut-Butter Pilgrims is one of a fun-filled series about the Pee Wee Scouts that will have kids begging for more. Alan Tiegreen's comical pen and ink drawings add visual impact to the story.

Mesmerizing as a read aloud family time story for younger kids, or independent reading for older children that will keep them entranced.
