The Giant Turnip starts when Grandad suggests a group of bored friends grow vegetables in the summer holidays. He offers a prize for the biggest vegetable, and the children rush to dig the soil and plant their gardens.

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.
