Saturday Storytime & Activity Project with Margaret Merrifield
Humble green peas provide inspiration in this hilarious,
occupation-based romp through the alphabet. Four-inch-high letters on
each page serve as an ingenious architectural platform around, above,
and inside of which dozens of "pea-ple" swarm in joyful pursuit of
myriad types of work. Bouncy, rhyming text introduces the alphabet peas
as "acrobats, artists, and astronauts in space, builders, bathers, and
bikers in a race," with unpaid "voters and volunteers" receiving their
due, too. Baker's inventive details belie the "as alike as two peas in a
pod" adage; each and every amusing personalized pea is as unique as a
snowflake—and that's the point.
