BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Dinner is served and a pea on a plate decides to escape. He has all kinds of fun and scary adventures before he finally lands under the fridge. There are some other pieces of escaped food there and the pea quickly realizes he wants to back on the plate. Life does not always go the way you want and the runaway pea finds that out when it is swept up and dumped outside. In the soft dirt things start to happen to him, like sprouting roots and shoots on top.
The colorful, fun illustrations follow the story and shows a lot of emotion and motion. The writing is fun and has a lot of rhythm. The rhyming verse makes for a fun read. I am sure little ones would love to have this book read to them over and over. They would want to hear what can happen to your food if you take your eyes off it. Maybe your food will escape!
