School Library Journal - 01/01/2024 PreS-Gr 2—A book that combines humor, repetition, and vibrant illustrations to create an engaging reading experience. The story revolves around a mischievous pea who devours everything in his path, leaving a famished princess in his wake. A clever rhyming sequence keeps young readers entertained and helps them grasp fundamental concepts and patterns. The repetitive nature of the story is not only entertaining but also aids in cognitive development by encouraging children to speculate about what happens next. A great tool for early literacy, the story's rhythm and deliberate predictability make it an excellent choice for bedtime reading or classroom settings. The bright and bold illustrations further enhance the book's appeal. The visuals perfectly complement the narrative. VERDICT This engaging book fosters language development and cognitive skills in children. It's a must-have for anyone looking to provide an enjoyable and educational reading experience for little ones.—Jessica Calaway - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
