If 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. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Baby/Toddler—The adorable picture book about picky eating has been adapted for the smallest noshers. Happy Little Pea leads a content life with Mama and Papa Pea. His only gripe is having to eat the worst thing ever for dinner—candy! As in the original, the use of white space in contrast with the bright, pea green of the main characters makes this tale visually appealing to young readers. A counting element and a twist ending will have them coming back for seconds and thirds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable story, pictures, a toddler favorite!
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2011

This book was recommended to me by another parent and I bought it sight unseen. It has become such a favorite in our household that I now give it as a gift to other little ones.

This is the story of Mama Pea, Papa Pea, and Little Pea. I love that Little Pea may occasionally be mentioned as a "he" but he still remains pretty gender neutral and my daughter I think can relate to Little Pea. The story is a perfect length for a two-year old - long enough to be an actual story, short enough to keep her attention. There's lots of places where the reader can make the story more fun with goofy voices (fling Little Pea UPPP in the AIR, the blech/plech part, etc.), and pictures where you can pause mid-story and ask your little one to find the pea who isn't happy, ask what is in the bowl, what color is the candy, etc. The story is the type where I hear my daughter "reading" it to herself during naptime - she can recall whole portions of it; she will also finish pages for me when we read it together. The pictures are simple yet utterly adorable.

As others have said, this book won't make your child a veggie lover, but it's a cute story that doesn't get old for kiddo or the parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm so glad I did because it is adorable

I try to avoid buying books without reading them first whenever possible, but took a chance on this one because I couldn't find it in our bookstore. I'm so glad I did because it is adorable! We nicknamed our baby "Sweet Pea" throughout the pregnancy so I really loved the idea of getting him a book like this. The board book is nice because it's durable, but it also has a little more substance to the story than most baby board books I've found, which is really nice on days when he is lays quietly for the story since it won't be over in 30 seconds. It's a cute way of getting your little one to be more interested in veggies as well, though ours is not old enough to understand that part of it yet.

This is definitely a book that will work both for the baby years and the toddler years!

I loved this book the first time I read it. I bought it to read to my grandchildren and didn't know what they would think. They LOVED it!! Asked for it over and over again while we were on a family camping trip recently. Wonderful perspective (what we see as normative behavior is really just a product of our environment). Both of my grandsons love broccoli, so they also thought it was cool that it was featured as Little Pea's dessert! Great job, Amy Krouse!! (I also love I Wish You More).

I really enjoy reading this to my daughter who isn't a picky eater but enjoys the story.
It is very short and cute, I just wish it didn't feel like it ended so soon.

When I ordered it it took nearly a month to arrive at my house.
Outside of that I'd read it to the picky eaters I know.

A favorite story of my own children... I bought it for a baby shower requesting children's books instead of a card. An adorable tale of a little pea who doesn’t want to eat his candy, but can’t wait for his spinach dessert. Kids giggle!

We received this as part of our daughter's book subscription and it was an instant hit! She's 16 months, so too young to understand the picky eaters aspect BUT she giggles the entire second half. Great little book that encourages silly voices and sounds from the reader.

Little Pea loves playing with his pea pals but dreads dinner time because all little peas have to eat their candy before they have dessert. Little Pea HATES candy.

My kids love this book. It's a great twist on every parent's fight to get their kids to eat their veggies. The illustrations are very cute. I recommend!

What a fantastic concept! Little pea has to eat candy for dinner in order to have spinach as dessert. This book brings everything on its head, the illustration is really nice and perhaps your little ones will eat something like spinach, or peas.

Little Pea is a clever and charming book which my daughter who is a new reader has been happy to read to us over and over again. Amy Krouse Rosenthal's other books Little Oink and Little Hoot are equally as endearing and just as lovable as this book.
