Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Drawing from the history of Russian verbal art, this story about a family that must work together is an adaptation of a Russian children's folk tale. When the grandfather has trouble plucking a turnip from his garden, it takes the help of the entire family--grandmother, granddaughter, dog, cat, and mouse--to dislodge it. Rhythm and melody work in combination with a clever refrain and comical, vivid watercolor drawings to make this story lyrically and visually entertaining.
Retelling of a traditional Russian folktale.
