Do your kids like to eat peas? Maybe, or maybe not. But I believe they will find the little green peas,
(other wise known as "pea-ple") in Keith Baker's concept books very likeable. In
LMNO Peas the pea-ple are busy being artists, builders, climbers, dancers, etc., as they highlight an alphabet of occupations. Each giant, colorful letter is contrasted by many tiny green peas illustrating a variety of careers and activities. This delightful book, as well as
1 2 3 Peas can be enjoyed on many levels. Teach your child the alphabet and how to count with these books that are packed full of color, action, rhyme and lots of new vocabulary. Keith Baker's illustrations are so clever and just plain fun. Play a game of finding the Ladybug who appears in every two page spread. Take your child's pointer finger and help them count each of the pea-ple from 1 to 100. And if you don't mind messy fingers let them press their pointer finger in a green stamp pad then onto clean white paper to create their own story world of little pea-ple. Those uneaten peas on their plates just might become the new characters in their pretend play. So go ahead, let them play with their food and check out these books at your local library!
