True Story: It was Thanksgiving time. A flock of wild turkeys were seen on the platform of a suburban train station. Sara Swan Miller, a children''s book author, asked herself: why were they there? Sara thought about that question, and a few more like it: Were they going somewhere? Were they trying to get away from some place, or some person? Did they just want to take a train ride? There was nobody around who could answer those questions. So Sara made up her own answers, and wrote this funny little book in order to explain Turkeys on the Train. Sara Swan Miller is also the author of OH, CATS OF CAMP RABBITBONE and AT THE RABBITBONE RESTAURANT.

To Pippin and Merry, summer seems ruined. No Camp Rabbitbone this year, which means no fun, no friends, no swimming in the catnip pool. The two cats have nearly resigned themselves to long, hot months in their Manhattan apartment when the free-roaming Macgraw appears at their window with an exciting plan: Let’s go to the country! The three cats soon find themselves on an adventure into the wilderness, where the nights are dark and food doesn’t magically appear in their bowls. After a few funny mishaps, the cats learn to feed themselves so well they decide to start a restaurant. Enlisting help from two rhyming raccoons, the cats launched the Rabbitbone Restaurant. With dishes such as the Mole Bowl and Mouse Paw à la Macgraw, the restaurant is sure to delight its furry customers. Not a fan of mole or mouse or snake? Don’t worry! There are tons of tasty recipes for you humans in here too. So come on down to the Rabbitbone Restaurant, where everybody is welcome and you can dine in style tonight! Sara Swan Miller is also the author of this book''s prequel, OH, CATS OF CAMP RABBITBONE .

As they all stand at attention under the United Cats flag saying the Pledge of All-We-Cats, the cats of Camp Rabbitbone dream about the exciting summer they are bound for at camp. Swimming in the pool of catnip, playing games such as Bat the Birdie, Battlemouse, and Pick-Up-Bones, taking extra long cat naps and of course eating are just a few of the activities the camp kitties have in store for them. And keeping up with McGraw the bully cat could be enough activity for the whole summer. But it is a fun summer for all as the cats make friends while experiencing the joys of cathood. Sara Swan Miller is also the author of this book''s sequel, AT THE RABBITBONE RESTAURANT.
