(3) K-3 In this humorous adaptation of the Russian folktale "The Turnip," sweet little Isabelle helps her family by singing and dancing around a carrot, which grows to be enormous. Down-home dialect and an old T-Bird give the tale a 1950s-rural-America feel. The illustrations, full of curving jubilant lines and lots of carrot orange, are appropriately wacky.
