The Turnip

32 pp. | Putnam | November, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-17070-6 $17.99
(3) K-3 The badger family cannot pull their giant turnip out of the ground without the help of a series of neighbors. This loose retelling of a Russian folktale is illustrated with Brett's detailed paintings of animals dressed in traditional Russian costume. The text is straightforward and unadorned, the better to feast on the sumptuous pages.
