A crowd-pleaser in the tradition of Mitchell Sharmat's Gregory, The
Terrible Eater (1980), illustrated by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey,
this simply told and illustrated episode features both a decidedly
atypical family (all head, no body) facing a familiar dinnertime
issue, and a delicious final twist. Little Pea's generally a happy
legume, hanging with friends, rolling down hills and being
catapulted off a spoon by Papa Pea-but meals are always fraught,
for Little Pea hates candy, which as you know (you didn't?) is all
that peas eat. "If you don't finish your candy, you can't have
dessert," says Mama Pea. Negotiating his quota down to five
cellophane-wrapped pieces, Little Pea proceeds to choke them
down-"Three. Plck. Four. Pleh."-then jumps for joy at dessert's
arrival-a heaping bowl of spinach. Expect bursts of hilarity from
young listeners, picky eaters or no. (Picture book. 3-5) (Kirkus
Reviews)
If Little Pea doesn't eat all of his sweets, there will be no
vegetables for dessert! What's a young pea to do? Children who have
trouble swallowing their veggies will love the way this pea-size
picture book serves up a playful story they can relate to.
