Description: Adapted from Aleksey Tolstoys The Turnip, this tale about teamwork and sharing in an extended African-American family is bubbling with warmth and Southern-style cooking. A great read-aloud, it also makes a natural introduction to units on seeds and growing or gardening.--"School Library Journal." Full color.

Review Quotes:
Well written, charmingly illustrated, and with a new ethnic twist, this book is a first choice for libraries and an essential addition to collections of folktale variations. A great read-aloud, it also makes a natural introduction to units on seeds and growing, or gardening. Also, don't overlook the opportunities to discuss themes of cooperation, generosity, and community.--School Library Journal
