Do you whether it is a male or female turkey that makes the noise “gobble” (hint: it’s not both…the other says “cluck”)?  Did you know that wild turkeys can fly up to 55 miles per hour?  Did you know that turkeys have about 3500 feathers?  Test your turkey knowledge and find out more fun facts here.

If you are interested in learning more turkeys you can find books about them at the call number j598.6.  There is also now a new database at the library to look up animals.  Among the databases the library provides that are suitable for children is the Marshall Cavendish International Wildlife database.  This trustworthy source provides information on many animals.  One nice feature of this database is the option to change the language in which the information is provided.  In addition to allowing you to view information in a language that is most familiar to you, this option also lets you switch back and forth to practice a new language.  Waltham residents can access this database from home using their library card barcode.

If you want to gobble up more turkey fun join us in the storytime room during our drop-in craft from 10:30am-11:15am on Saturday, November 17th.  We will be making turkey headbands.
