Henriette Barkow / Illus. Richard Johnson
The Giant Turnip: Tamil & English is a bilingual story book, with the full text in both English and Tamil.
When Miss Honeywood's class set about planting a vegetable garden, they have no idea what's in store for them. Soon they have grown a turnip taller than a giraffe and wider than an elephant! But what can you do with a giant turnip?
Vividly illustrated and humorously narrated, this modern retelling of a much-loved Russian fairy tale is a story about little people working together to solve big problems.
It's also a good story to introduce essential areas of vocabulary including food, plants, seasons and the natural world.
