Badger Girl finds a giant turnip in the garden, but she can't pull it up alone. One by one, Badger Brother, Mother Badger, Father Badger, Hedgie, Mr. Ram, and Dapple Grey join in, but they can't budge the turnip. A cocky rooster has been watching and he steps up and brags that he can do it. As he goes flying through the air, holding on to the giant turnip, they think he has succeeded. Little do they know that a mama bear has kicked the turnip up and out of their underground den so that she and her cubs have room to sleep through the winter.

In a rollicking, cumulative tale, a badger family and their friends-Hedgie, Mr. Ram and Vanya, the horse-struggle to pull up a giant turnip. A cocky rooster steps in and pulls, sending him into the air, holding onto the turnip. No one knows that a mother bear in her underground den has kicked the turnip up through the soil to give the family room to sleep through the winter.

Once again Jan Brett brings an original twist to a favorite folktale. Snow covers the farm in rural Russia as badgers and friends in old-fashioned clothes, and bears marching through bright-colored borders, send young readers laughing from page to page.
