Miss Honeywood's class plants a vegetable garden, but they're amazed when one turnip grows taller than a giraffe and wider than an elephant. Pulling it out seems impossible until everyone-tiny mice to the whole school-joins forces with a mighty heave-ho to harvest the giant veggie. This modern spin on a Russian fairy tale shows how little helpers can solve big problems through cooperation and clever thinking.
Henriette Barkow's humorous dual language retelling Mantra Lingua's 'Folktales, Myths and Legends' collection glows with vivid illustrations that capture the fun of growing things. Great for young children to learn about plants, seasons, and the natural world, it's an engaging pick for homes or schools to discuss teamwork and sharing in a light-hearted adventure.
