Reviews: More Peas Please! (1)
“Great book for fussy eaters”
(Paperback)
Siblings, Molly and Milo, are eating dinner, when Milo declares he is finished. Molly realises he has not touched his peas, and asks him why not. Milo gives a number of reasons why he believes peas to be ghastly. Molly counteracts with the amazing things that peas will do for you if you eat them, such as make you strong, tall and smart. And then comes the clincher: Molly decides to eat up all Milo’s peas. Of course, Milo cannot allow that – if peas are so good that his sister wants them, then he wants them too!!! They settle down to “MORE PEAS PLEASE”.
This is a great book to persuade fussy eaters to eat their vegetables. Peas are probably the least contentious of vegetables, but the sentiment is the same – eating your veg is really good for you. No rhyming in this book, but Molly uses a range of extravagant similes to convince Milo of peas’ benefits (quick English grammar lesson anyone?). The illustrations are fun and bright. I loved the pet dog – though doubt there are many canines that like slurping up peas.
Highly recommended.
I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by either the author or publisher.
