Review
and#8220;Bakerand#8217;s follow-up to and#8220;LMNO Peasand#8221; features that bookand#8217;s clever and amiable concept, which can be summarized thus: peas are cute. They are cute when one of them holds a telescope, and they are cute when two of them go fishing or three of them paddle rowboats, one wearing a ponytail, another in a baseball cap. They are especially fetching when wearing tutus and spinning like whirling dervishes. Children will coo at them in hammocks. They will appreciate their attempts to put together a 50-piece puzzle. They will like everything about peasand#8212;as long as they donand#8217;t have to eat them.and#8221;

and#8220;A welcome companion to Bakerand#8217;s alphabet book, andlt;iandgt;andlt;a href="http://booklistonline.com/LMNO-Peas-Keith-Baker/pid=3893460"andgt;LMNO Peasandlt;/aandgt;andlt;/iandgt; (2010), this counting book features a large cast of the same odd but charming little characters: green peas with skinny arms and legs, occasional footwear or headgear, and abundant energy. The spacious format supports a series of well-composed double-page spreads in which huge numerals in vibrant colors and patterns stand out brilliantly against the white backgrounds used in most pictures. Meanwhile, the little peas scurry about, illustrating phrases in the rhymed couplets that unite the scenesand#8230;. Children will enjoy finding the right number of characters in each scene in this inviting introduction to counting.and#8221;andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt; and#8212;andlt;iandgt;Booklist Onlineandlt;/iandgt;, August 8, 2012
Review
and#8220;In this companion to andlt;i andgt;L-M-N-O Peasandlt;/iandgt;, the wildly animated crew of peas takes a numerical jaunt from 1 to 100and#8230;. The crisply metric text makes this as much fun to read as it is to pore over, and itand#8217;s a whole lot of fun to pore overand#8230;the numeral is treated as a physical element in the pea-rich vignettes for the little veggie participants to fish off of, drive around, or build on. The highly detailed activities of said peas are definitely worth a closer look (Peayoncand#233; can be found crooning on the and#8220;Seventy peas singingand#8221; page).While little listeners will appreciate the story, they will especially enjoy the opportunity to take a closer look when storytime is through.and#8221;andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt; --andlt;iandgt;BCCBandlt;/iandgt;, October 2012
Review
"Counting never looked as fun as it does in andlt;Bandgt;1-2-3 Peasandlt;/Bandgt;.... The tiny, busy peas are a hoot, driving, flying, biking around giant numerals on each colorful spread."
