The book is about how it takes an entire family, including pets, pests and rodents, to pull a giant turnip out of the ground - a great way to teach team work to children. "The Enormous Turnip" by Alexei Tolstoy Look it up - it's a great read for your child. As for the cover - take your mind out of the gutter :) A 6-7yo child's mind will not make that association unless you help it to. I used to read a similarly-illustrated book when I was a kid.
