First recorded in nineteenth-century Russia by Aleksei Tolstoy, THE GIGANTINC 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 memorisation, and plenty of counting practice for young readers. Niamh Sharkey's quirky folk art illustrations lend to the humour of the story and the personalities of the characters. It is a lovely way to introduce young readers to a classic Russian tale AGES: 3 to 7
