Turnip fan or not, The Turnip is an entertaining story about being in the right place at the right time.
The story begins when Badger
Girl discovers an enormous turnip in the garden. However, she nor Badger Boy,
nor their parents, or any of the passers-by can pluck that turnip from the
ground. That is, until Rooster struts along after narrowly escaping the cooking
pot. He gives the over-sized turnip a good heave-ho at the same moment the bears living beneath the vegetable give it a good push to remove it from their bed. Rooster gets the credit as the turnip is finally set free.
All
are happy as Mother Badger declares there will be turnip pancakes browned in
butter for all. And as everyone is enjoying the feast, Father Badger declares
Rooster, who proved himself useful, has a new home.
As always, Jan Brett's detailed and darling illustrations add to the magic of her books.
