Peas, Peas Everywhere Peas

"LMNO Peas" author Keith Baker once again entertains  with his new title "1-2-3 Peas". This time the peas look, plant, paint, swim, dance, and build their way to 10. Skip to 20 and then beep, sleep, puzzle, sing their way to 100.

Kids will pore over detail in the digitally rendered illustration. For example “The Peatles” are the band as 70 peas including the ever popular Peayonce sing a song. At 100 each pea is carrying a banner or flag with their number and each pea has a different look. Some wear eye glasses, some have hats or bows, and one even has red boots on.  This is definitely a title for sharing one-on-one and for giving your little one time to explore the drawings in the book.
