The peas return for their third book, this time focusing on colors. Peas play on each page, surrounded by a specific color that also shows up in huge letters across the double page spread. Told in rhyme, the colors are named and objects that are that color are named too. Young readers can find those objects on the page. Turn to the next and you get to see even more little green peas enjoying themselves with that color. Then on to the next. This colorful read has a great playfulness to it that will keep the youngest readers giggling as they learn their colors.
Baker knows just when his rhyme and structure have reached their limit and then turns it just slightly to make it fresh again. His little peas are doing all sorts of things on the page and part of the fun of the book is lingering and just seeing what is happening to each little pea. The illustrations are big and bold, the colors deep and strong. Yet the little peas and their detailed big fun make this a book best shared one on one.
A great pick for learning colors, children will enjoy the little peas on each page. Appropriate for ages 1-3.
