( ) This humorous illustrated piece showcases Boynton's signature illustrations alongside her trademark wit, but this time aimed at adults rather than toddlers. Published in the '80s, the book is a bit dated, but some types don't change -- the reader is treated to an overview of the "turkeys" we all meet in life, along with some amusing suggestions on how to recognize and deal with them. Overall, this was a nice, quick distraction from my current distraction. I enjoyed it, especially since I love Boynton's kids books, but it's not something I would have sought out, had it not leapt into my library sale box for a bargain-basement price. Dedicated to Whom It May Concern, Don't Let the Turkeys Get You Down is Sandra Boynton's hilarious commentary and 150 full-color drawings identifying the ubiquitous turkey's distinguishing characteristics and most common habitats. From the turkey's extremely large ego to its arrogant behavior, the traits are classified. Boynton traces the turkey's influence on history, the neighborhood, the family, more. Several profiles in turkitude and a pop quiz further uncover turkeys in the immediate vicinity. Forewarned is forearmed: turkeys possess absolutely unwarranted and absolutely unshakable self-confidence. They insist on high visibility, and can show up at a party, in an argument, on the jogging path. The reader's best defense is through study of this important manual, keying in on the single most important turkey fact: a turkey never knows that it is a turkey. This is the type of book that is necessary after a day of rude bus drivers, irritating cashiers, long lines and bad attitudes in general. There's a turkey for every occasion, atturkey's-at-law, health food turkeys, parent turkeys, guest turkeys that never leave. It's incredible. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
