| Almost the cutest pea ever... |
February 2015, Chronicle Books, 32 pages, Board book, Review copy
Content: humour
Summary from Abrams & Chronicle Books
Ten years ago, Amy Krouse Rosenthal burst into children's books with Little Pea,
a book destined to become a classic. Her witty text about a little pea
who won't eat his sweets combined with the whimsical yet warm hearted
art by Jen Corace create a go-to baby gift, a hilarious read-aloud and the perfect intervention for picky eaters.
Nayu's thoughts
I
like peas (to eat) & this pea looked utterly adorable. I was
intrigued in what a pea wouldn't enjoy eating, and found myself
laughing by the food choice. Very clever role reversal, it will make
all readers thing 'huh?' for a moment or two and then laugh like I
did. The illustration is simple yet effective, with the focus on the
peas. The pea's mother was adorable as a child with a cute bow on her
head.
The practical side of pea life like how do they do anything without hands is thrown out window, the magic of the tale with a hilarious end makes it possible to suspend belief and enter the pea world. I sincerely hope there may be more adventures for Little Pea.
