A Family Favorite

This book was my son's favorite book for about a year and a half. We would read it 2, 3 times a day. He loved it. Very cute story, and my husband uses a different voice when the family is trying to pull the turnip. It cracks my son up!

your basic turnip story...with great illustrations

The author of this story wisely kept it simple and faithful to the original. The ilustrations really stand-out - my kids practically hold their breath (even though they know what's going to happen) as one after the other large-bottomed characters try to pull the turnip out of the ground until finally! they succeed.
