Synopses & Reviews
Moose grows an enormous cabbage, sure to win a prize at the fair,
but needs the help of all his friends to load it onto a truck in this Alaskan
version
of a Russian folktale. The turnip story inspired The Giant Cabbage, but this
contemporary version uses verbal and visual twists to showcase its Alaska
setting.
Comical repetitions, fun words, and vivid animal characters bring the story to
life,
and there's even a recipe for a scrumptious (kosher/vegetarian) cabbage soup
and
several Alaska fun facts in the back of the book.
Review
"Entertainingly written by Cherie B. Stihler and delightfully illustrated
by Jeremiah Trammel,
The Giant Cabbage: An Alaska Folktale is a playful
story about a hard-working moose who is determined to enter the biggest
and best cabbage he can grow into the Giant Cabbage contest. But the cabbage
he grows is so big it can hardly be moved what is everyone to do?
"The Giant Cabbage is an upbeat, whimsical
and enthusiastically recommended picture book tale
which will have special appeal for children ages 3 to 8."
