Delicious!"--"Kirkus Reviews," starred review * "Hundreds of animated green peas tumble through the alphabet in this refreshingly original book. The illustrations are full of vitality and good humor, and the rhyming text never misses a beat." "PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, " March 22, 2010 *Starred Review * "Humble green peas provide inspiration in this hilarious, occupation-based romp through the alphabet....
