Children's Book Review: Grandma Lena's Big Ol' Turnip

Grandma Lena's Big Ol' Turnip
written by Denia Lewis Hester 
illustrated by Jackie Urbanovic
published by Albert Whitman Prairie Books

As can be guessed from the title of this book, it is all about Grandma Lena who ends up growing a gigantic turnip in her garden. So big, in fact, she's not able to get the turnip out of the ground.

The Little Guy's Impression
Of the five library books we checked out last week, this was definitely the little guy's favorite.

Mom's Impression
I am always on the lookout for children's books that have a real storyline, and this is certainly one of them. The storyline may be simple, the language used is beautiful, and it is a fun read. (If you're like me, you'll throw in some good character voices, which makes reading out loud to the kiddos that much more fun.)
