Tobias Turkey is Determined
Tobias Turkey keeps children amused
Tobias Turkey was illustrated by Sandra Robbins' 12 year old son, Michael. It tells the story of a very determined little turkey and his quest to win the Fattest Turkey Contest.
While all the other turkeys are out sliding, swimming and jumping over fences Tobias Turkey persists in the pursuit of his goal. He doesn't give in to peer pressure.
Just as Tobias is determined to attain his goal, we as parents must also find ways to get things done and that's where Mobistories can help. Tobias Turkey comes in a paperback edition with a cassette tape but it also comes in a new format which makes it possible to keep your child happily reading no matter where you are. Tobias Turkey is one of the MobiStories.
Now when you are in line at the bank or trying to talk with a doctor, your child can have a story read to him or her.
MobiStories can be downloaded onto your iPhone, iPod, or other digital Mp3 device so that your child can have a story read to him or her anytime and anywhere.

It's Thanksgiving
by Jack Prelutsky
The poems in this little book are not only hilarious and catch children's attention, they also are written in large, easy to read print, are easily memorized and are a great accompaniment to Tobias Turkey.
Jack Prelutsky makes up some of the funniest poems I have ever heard. When we were homeschooling in Boston, we went to one of his book signings where he recited one of his turkey poems and had everyone in tears. Some of the poems in It's Thanksgiving might offend Tobias Turkey but at least one has sympathy for the plight of the turkey on Thanksgiving Day.

Tobias Turkey Lives on a Farm
Tobias Turkey is a Domesticated Turkey
Tobias Turkey is a domestic turkey. He is raised on Joe's Farm with other poultry like chickens and ducks.
Domesticated Turkeys are raised on farms. They differ in many ways from their wild cousins.
Fully grown wild male turkeys weigh 8-24 pounds while wild female turkeys weigh 7-16 pounds.
Fully grown domestic turkeys have been know to weigh as much as 86 pounds.
To make these numbers come alive for children, get out your cans of beans and stack up 16 cans for a very large wild turkey and 86 cans for a domestic turkey.

Comparing the differences between wild and domestics turkeys, Dorothy Patent discusses their physical characteristics, behavior, life cycle, and environment.

Tobias Turkey gets weighed!
These number will not mean much to children until they experience them.
Take out some bathroom scales and try to find something that weighs each of the mentioned amounts. Beans can be poured out into tote bags until they weigh the same as the turkey.
Male domestic turkeys have been known to get as heavy as 86 pounds (40 kg.).
Do you know anyone who weighs 86 pounds? Go to the grocery store and check the weighs of the turkeys for sale there. How much do they weigh?

Tobias Turkey Arts and Math
Tobias Turkey™ and his friends are making Thanksgiving decorations. Each turkey makes five. How many do four turkeys make? How many do five make? How many do six make?"
Skip Count by fives to find the answer.
Hundreds of Turkeys
Farmer Joe had hundreds of turkeys on his farm. They ran all over the place and it was difficult to count how many turkeys he had. One day Farmer Joe decided to use place value to help him count his turkeys.
He made lots of pens and put 10 turkeys in each pen. Each group of 10 pens were put in a separate field. Then he could count the turkeys by hundreds, tens and ones.
Materials: Green bathmats, Popsicle sticks, Unifix cubes.
Turkey Pens
Make fences from the Popsicle sticks.
Use Unifix Cubes for Turkeys.
Make a pen for each group of ten turkeys.
Ten pens to a mat.
Count the mats by 100's, the left over pens by 10's and the rest by 1's to find out how many turkeys Farmer Joe has on his farm.

Angelina_Howard says:
Generally not a story: We practice a technique called Time-in. Time-in is where the parent sits with the child quietly. Sometimes a child just needs a moment to calm things down a bit. The technique involves close time with your child talking in a soft voice. I have had great success with my children ranging from ages: 4-10 years. I will say I have done this in public as well as at home.

High Frequency Turkey Words
Tobias Turkey is learning to read. He can practice the words he is learning by matching the words on the turkey cards with the words on the file folder.
High Frequency words are the most common words in the English language.
-ur Words as in Turkey
Once children have learned the short and long vowels, it's time for the r-controlled vowels. The letter r after a vowel changes it's sound.
Make cards with r-controlled vowels words on them and play games like Go Fish or Concentration to practice and reinforce these new words.

- Printable poster of -ur words.
-ur Story Starters
1. Use turkey-shaped cards to write the -ur words on.
2. Shuffle the cards.
3. Take turns turning over the cards, reading the word and making up a sentence with it.

Play a Turkey Game
1. Wash an empty plastic milk jug and cut off the top section where the lid attaches. (An adult can do this with a craft knife.)
2. Paint the jug, adding wings and a red gobbler. Glue a pom pom to the top of the handle for the head and add giggle eyes and a construction paper or craft foam beak.
3. Cut tail feathers from construction paper or craft foam pieces and glue them to the back. To play a game, stand above the turkey and drop pencils or clothespins and see how many you can get inside the turkey jug.
4. Hold the pencil or clothespin in your hand and place your hand at the level of your nose while standing over the jug. Drop the item from "nose level". This makes the game fair for all ages.

Reading Aloud
The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.
There is conclusive evidence to support the use of reading aloud not only in the home but also in the classroom: It is a practice that should continue throughout the grades.

A Turkey by any other Name...
Where does Tobias Turkey's name come from?
Tobias is a Greek version of the Hebrew biblical name "Tobijah", meaning "Jehovah [God] is good". It is a popular male given name in Germany, Scandinavia, the United States and amongst Jewish people.
Places
* Tobias, Nebraska, A US village
* Tobias Fornier, Antique, a municipality in the Philippines
Turkeys
When Europeans first encountered turkeys in the Americas they incorrectly identified the birds as a type of guineafowl (Numida meleagris), also known as a turkey-cock from its importation to Central Europe through Turkey, and the name of that country stuck as the name of the bird. The confusion is also reflected in the scientific name: meleagris is Greek for guinea-fowl.

I wasn't convinced at first that I could endorse MobiStories as I tend to stay away from technology for children but I have found that these downloadable stories truly encourage reading of the real books.
MobiStories don't take away from reading the books, they actually enhance the experience. You can even try one out for free.
