They and their twelve little piglets were skilled topiarists. Every autumn, along with all of the other nurseries in the area, they sculpted giant turkey topiaries, for which there was a big demand. One morning though, Jambo awoke to discover that all of their turkeys had been stolen! The clues implicated Voler, a notorious topiary thief, but because no one could distinguish which turkey trees were theirs, nothing could be proven. Things looked grim, but Marva had a plan . . . Glowing etchings fill the pages with dramatic images of giant turkey topiaries. Arthur Geisert has given free rein to his imagination in this creative and unique caper.
