Review
Eat Your Peas is great fun.... Nick Sharratt's illustrations... work wonderfully to bring Daisy's dilemma and her mother's bribes to their full potential on the page, and the humour of the texts and the illustrations are in perfect harmony. (The Bookseller)
Review
Sharrat's bold cartoons cleverly depict the futility of squabbles, children will undoubtedly enjoy the exaggerated contest and the fact that the resolution does not involve some sort of punishment. (Booklist)
