The Giant Turnip Starts when Grandad suggests a group of bored friends grow vegetables during the summer holiday. But one of the friends visits the library to find a book on growing vegetables and finds instead a book of magic spells... He follows the magic spell for growing a giant turnip - and the next morning the garden is almost filled with the biggest turnip anyone has ever seen! It takes men with a crane and a digger, all the children, Grandad, a police helicopter - even the dog and cat - all working together to pull the giant turnip up. And then what are they going to do with all that yummy turnip?
