About The Book

On a lovely sunny day, a group of friends discovers something very unusual . . . It's big. It's got leaves. It's in their way. What is it? A giant parsnip!

In this adorable story from the creator of Friends and The Suitcase, a group of children use their imagination to turn a giant parsnip into a delicious dinner for them all to share. Each page has something to count and spot as the book introduces the numbers one to ten.

Perfect for little ones who are learning to count, this cosy and classic book introduces numbers and celebrates the joy of working and playing together.

Includes a recipe for parsnip soup for families to try at home!
