Book of the Week

Little Pea, by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Do your kids gobble up their vegetables and ask for more? If they don't, and they're like my kids, they will love this story. It's a twist on the classic dinner time struggle to get kids to eat their vegetables. Little pea LOVES vegetables, but can only have them after s/he's eaten all of her candy. The kids will love seeing what type of candy Little Pea has to eat every day, and listening to the sounds Little Pea makes, repulsed by every sweet bite. In the end, Little Pea does eat all of his/her candy, and gets her surprise dessert... spinach, which s/he gobbles up. It's a very simple story with beautiful illustrations. My kids practically fall over laughing when we read this story. It's one of our all time favorites!
