What is The Giant Turnip about?

The children in Miss Honeywood’s class are delighted when the vegetable they have grown in the school garden turns out to be a giant turnip. But when they try to pull it from the ground, it will not budge. One child pulls, then another joins in, followed by more classmates and some unexpected helpers. Can everyone work together to free the enormous turnip? This lively, humorous retelling of a classic Russian folktale celebrates teamwork, persistence and the surprising results of growing things.
