Goosie has some turnips to take to market, so that she can buy a pot to cook in. As she journeys there, however, other animals persuade her to swap with them instead. She swaps her turnips for a small cheese, and the cheese for a sardine, and then the sardine for a cup of water- When she finally arrives at the market, nobody wants to swap with her any more. She has to wait until the very end of the day, when she can finally trade for some turnip seeds. She can grow them and trade the turnips next Spring for a pot to cook in. Hang on! Haven't we heard her say that before? Peta Coplans has written and illustrated this fantastic new picture book with all her accustomed colourful verve and inventiveness.
