Little Green Peas: A Big Book of Colors

"Picture-book sequels can be tricky to do well, but Baker continues to beat the odds.... Groups of irrepressibly individual legumes frolic through a rainbow of colors.... Baker employs a good balance of predictability and surprise in the text.... Simple in concept but elegant in design and execution, this title is a delight."

"Baker's winsome legumes return for a third ap-pea-rance, exploring nine colors.... One charming spread glows green.... Those babes in pods are adorable."

"This delightful, energetic concept book showcases nine colors and is a worthy companion to Baker's recent titles.... Simple rhymes scan well, and listeners will soon be enthusiastically joining in the refrain.... Learning about colors has seldom been this much fun. Outstanding!"

"Young ones will love learning colors with Little Green Peas, by Keith Baker.... Vibrant and intricate illustrations will keep readers of all ages engaged."

Having previously played with letters and numbers in LMNO Peas and 123 Peas, Baker’s tiny legumes show their true colors (green, namely) in this entertaining companion book. Bouncy rhymes introduce nine colors: “Blue boats, blue seas,/ blue flags, and.../ little green peas.” Baker uses the page turns to create little crescendos of suspense, and the recurring answer changes just enough to keep things interesting. The color-themed spreads provide plenty of interest of their own, from a pair of autumnal “red” pages that show the peas flying kites and raking leaves to the cosmic black-and-white…

After teaching youngest readers how to navigate the alphabet (LMNO Peas) and to count (1-2-3 Peas), Keith Baker's little green heroes now introduce them to colors.
