A little story about a big Turnip is a traditional Russian folk tale. The story is retold by Russian-born author Tatiana Zunshine, and illustrated by Russian artist Evgeny Antonenkov. One of the most well-loved traditional stories, central to the upbringing of many generations of children in Russian culture, is now being introduced to American children.
This adaptation of the tale about a turnip adheres closely to the original narrative. The idea of teamwork and helping each other is a part of the history of Russian verbal art. In this tale, the wisdom of many ages is carried on by a plot that might seem simple, even primitive at first glance. Yet, its wisdom and simplicity has enabled the tale to live and endure centuries of telling and retelling.
