The book concludes: We are peas from A to Z. In two page spreads, covering from 1 to 4 letters at a time, the peas show and tell what they like to do, using nouns with the featured letter.

LMNO Peas by Keith Baker is an ap-PEA-ling ABC book that features peas who go through the alphabet showing all the different things they love to do, including a variety of occupations.Įnergetic peas introduce themselves one page 1: We are peas - alphabet peas! We work and play in the ABC's. This is a worthy addition to the “alphabet book” genre. I guess it has to end somehow other than just what it said about the letter Z. I could have done without the last line, but I suppose it could generate opportunities for kids to express themselves, although I think the rest of the book could instigate discussion without it. The contents teach the alphabet and also cover, and probably often introduce, many careers leisure pastimes, and various activities. The pictures are cute and attractive, and I was struck by the wonderful colors used throughout. There are big uppercase letters in vivid (though not overly bright) colors, and a lot to view on each page.

The peas are cute, the illustrations are fun, and I love that “We’re readers” represents the letter R. Most pages have more than one activity per letter. The concept is that peas have a variety of jobs and activities that start with A through Z. This is a very cute alphabet book, suitable for the youngest child all the way up to early elementary school age children.
