Peas Please

by Keith Baker

Youngun's will love the bright and cheerful illustrations as much as grownups do! Need a little pick me up during the day? Take a peek at any page of LMNO Peas!

Let me start with a positive reference. My 5 year old nephew chose this bright and beautiful book out of a stack of similar picture books. This is the one he wanted to hear.  He asked may questions about the pictures and vocabulary.  His vocabulary now includes the words acrobats, electricians, inventors, miners, unique, voters, yogis, and his new favorite: outlaws!  

Keith Baker uses precious drawings of peas to illustrate this alphabet book that introduces a wide variety of titles for professions, hobbies, and other activities people do. The peas are drawn in all sorts of outfits and poses. As I said earlier, my nephew's favorites were the outlaws. They wear masks and caps and are robbing lots of money from vaults. My nephew is very interested in Star Wars and superheroes right now so these bad guys caught his attention. 

All young children will find peas to admire and appreciate in this delightful book. A must have for every early learning classroom and library.
