Book Reviews of Little Pea
Book Review: "Little Pea," beloved book
Summary: 5 Stars
Whenever I visit my cousins, I bring a stack of books from the library to read to them. One time, "Little Pea" was in the stack. My littlest cousin loved it. Any time I visited after that, she asked for the book, but it was always checked out of the library. Finally, I bought her the book. She was thrilled.
The story is about a little pea who won't eat his sugary dinner, because he wants broccoli. His mother makes him take three sugary bites before she'll let him have his broccoli, because a pea that doesn't eat its sugar doesn't grow up to be sweet.
The illustrations are great, and a typical child can't help but relate to the little pea.
Book Review: Adorable, silly, teaches day of the week
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is adorable, my now-four year old picked it as a favorite last year and hasn't gotten tired of it yet (and he's not big on reading in general, so not much holds his attention). He loves that I do a whiny voice for little pea, he loves doing his parts which he long ago memorized, he loves snuggling into me when it talked about snuggling with mommy at night, he loves describing the candy when I mention which day of the week it is - and as a bonus, last night, he said his days of the week even though we've never worked on them formally. I changed "hated" to "didn't like" and the entire thing is appropriate for a preschooler.Book Review: Don't let "candy" scare you away!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought this book for our 2 1/2-year-old son because he absolutely refused to eat cooked vegies -- I thought the story might be a cute way to get him to give vegetables a chance. I am SO GLAD that we bought this book. At dinner, we quote the book and, with laughter, are able to get him to eat "five pieces" of vegetables before he can get seconds on the stuff he likes (bread, rice, etc.) Also, I disagree with the idea that this book promotes candy. Instead, my son is more willing to eat his vegetables and to try new foods because he can reflect upon a fun story that motivates him to do so.
Book Review: Two thumbs-up!
Summary: 5 Stars
Little Pea is a happy little pea, living with Mama Pea and Papa Pea, and doing all sorts of fun things. There is one thing, though, that Little Pea really hates, and that's dinner. For dinner he is forced to eat <Gasp!> candy. Little Pea has to force the candy down, so he can get the dessert he loves so much - spinach!
OK, this is a really fun and funny book, just right for the beginning reader, or the young pre-reader. It's brightly illustrated, and funny, being rather reminiscent of VeggieTales. My four-year-old loved it, and that's good enough for me. We both give it a thumbs-up!
Book Review: Who says this book is for little kids?
Summary: 5 Stars
We found this book at the library and it quickly became a family favorite. Key word here is family. My 13 year old son heard me reading it to his 3 year old sister and 6 year old brother. My 13 year old thought is was great. In fact, he loved it so much that when his 15 year old sister came home from volleyball practice, he read it OUT LOUD to her! Basically, my older kids love reading this book to the younger ones. The book is funny and clever and appeals to "kids" of all ages.
