Synopsis
First recorded in nineteenth-century Russia by Aleksei Tolstoy, The Gigantic Turnip is a truly hilarious folk tale for children under five and beginner readers. And there's a special surprise right at the end! It features simple vocabulary, repetition to aid in memorization, and plenty of counting practice for young readers. Niamh Sharkey's quirky folk art illustrations lend to the humor of the story and the personalities of the characters. It is a lovely way to introduce young readers to a classic Russian tale.

From AudioFile
Even with the familiarity of this beloved tale, the anticipation of the story's outcome brings much pleasure. When September rolls around, just which of the assorted farm animals will make a difference as the farmer and his wife toil to extract an enormous turnip from the garden patch? Ellen Verenieks provides just enough personality to differentiate the two main characters. More importantly, she maintains a leisurely pace, which is perfect to help young listeners focus on the action, appreciate the repetition and humor of the unfolding harvest event, and enjoy the tension of the story's climax. Sigh deeply, relax, and enjoy this fine serving of turnip stew. A.R. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
