Little Pea:
Little Pea doesn't eat all of his sweets; there will be no vegetables for dessert! What's a young pea to do? Children who have trouble swallowing their veggies will love the way this pea-size picture book serves up a playful story they can relate to.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal, best known for her grown-up memoirs like Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, The Mother's Guide to the Meaning of Life and The Same Phrase Describes My Marriage & My Breasts, jumps into the beginning reader-aged picture book fray and comes out on top with Little Pea.

Kids will love Little Pea's countdown to dessert, filled with yucks and blechs and plehs, and they will giggle at the backward nature of what he loves to eat and what he doesn't. Jen Corace's simple, joyful ink and watercolor illustrations complement the story marvelously, helping make Rosenthal's maiden picture-book outing a fun, fun read for both parents and their finicky kids.
