Summary: The colony of peas take us through the alphabet letter by letter informing us of their vast occupations and interests.
Summary of Professional Reviews: LMNO Peas is an original book which travels through the alphabet cluing us into the lives of peas. The detailed pastel watercolor illustrations humorously exhibit the peas’ participation in many areas of work and play, while at the same time, having words correspond to each letter on the page. Children will want to check in on the peas time and time again.
Review by Crystal Ball: These bustling tiny peas are go-getters. They are busy being listeners, miners, nurses, and officers. The illustrations show the peas interacting with the letters as they demonstrate their skills. Keith Baker also gives us many small details, which are best served by individual or small group readings so the children can clearly see the pages.
This book would be useful when teaching…
LMNO Peas is great for young children who are learning the alphabet. The large letters give ample room for children to trace them with their fingers, while the fine points in the illustrations will hold the child's attention.
Also, The book ends with asking “who are you?” Students could answer that question through a writing or art project, or through dramatic play. Then, they could compare their lives to the peas.
