We have all the books in this series and, to my surprise, this one is probably our favourite. Our daughter decided that that the man responsible for growing the turnip is "daddy", so I decided the wife was "mummy" and she became the little girl etc. I guess its more fun for her because she feels as if she's part of the story. The rhyming is most natural in this book - though I'm not sure if this is down to the skill of the writer or just that the storyline lends itself better to rhyming.

First Favourite Tales - Fab series for 2 year olds
I bought this entire series to give as birthday and christmas presents, to my 2 year old daughter and to other children. They have been a massive hit. The illustrations are lovely and, like the Snuggle Up series, the way they are written with rhyme and repetition as a central theme make them irresistible to toddlers. My daughter loves these books and wants to read them again and again, and they encourage her to join in too. I really wanted to introduce her to some of the classic fairy stories and this is a great, updated, way of doing so. Highly recommended.

The enormous turnip
Loved this little book with a rhyming story, repetitive language and bright illustrations. It is perfect for 4 - 7 year olds.

Again, this has been changed from the version I had as a child and I'm not sure it has improved it.
