Terence the Turkey in the Army (Terence the Turkey Series)

Terence the Turkey in the Army is fictitious, but the stories are based on true life experiences by the author. The chapters are full of action and silliness, as well as storylines with insight for children about life in general. Here are a few snapshots from the book:
