This hilarious retelling of the classic Russian tale about a farmer whose turnip is impossible to pull from the ground uses simple vocabulary and is ideal for reading aloud. Its cumulative theme will soon have young readers gleefully joining in, and Irish artist Niamh Sharkey's wonderfully quirky illustrations will delight and fascinate all ages.

The old man and the old woman kept six yellow canaries, five white geese, four speckled hens, two pot-bellied pigs and one big brown cow."

Our review: The simple vocabulary and the clear illustrations make it an excellent tool for teaching.  Also good for counting. Vocabulary Old Man and Old woman Cottage Animals: Canaries, geese, hens, cats, pigs, cow, mouse. Vegetables: Peas, carrots, potatoes, beans and turnips Verbs: pull, heave, tug,yank, fall over. The children find it fun and like to act it out. Children will enjoy listening to the CD over and over again.

Notre Avis: Le vocabulaire est simple et il se répète au long de l'histoire. Les images sont facile à utiliser pour enseigner et les enfants aiment bien compter les animaux et faire les actions (surtout quand tout le monde tombe). Le CD aide un enseignant non anglophone avoir une bonne prononciation et excellent pour les enfants de réécouter souvent à la maison..  Vocabulaire: Old Man and Old woman Cottage Animals: Canaries, geese, hens, cats, pigs, cow, mouse.
