I am a fan of turnips, their mild sweetness blended with potatoes brings back childhood memories of a tasty treat. The Great Big Enormous Turnip is a story about a turnip that was so big, it required an entire village to pull it from the ground. I like that this tale emphasizes the importance of everyone in a village, even the smallest member. I also like how the village reaps the tasty benefits from The Great Big Enormous Turnip.
This story is an old Russian folktale that has been retold many times. Below is a link to some books spin a version of the tale.
