Turkey Lurkey, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky and Goosey Loosey are all characters in one of many traditional folktales illustrated by this artist/storyteller. He was born in Hungary in 1914 but moved to the United States and carved out a niche for himself with his colorful retellings of familiar tales. He passed in 1986, but libraries still offer his versions of the Three Little Pigs, The Three Bears, The Little Red Hen, Puss in Boots, Three Billy Goats Gruff and more. His book that includes Turkey Lurkey is Henny Penny (Clarion Books, 1984), where a chicken feels an acorn fall on her head and is convinced the sky is falling. This is Paul Galdone.
