On each page, this book emphasizes and names a color then illustrates little green peas with familiar items that correspond to that color (yellow bus, yellow bumble bees, etc.). Every other page repeats the predictable line, "and... little green peas". The repetitive phrase and the matching
I like this book because I think the children will really enjoy the fun illustrations of personified peas doing day to day activities that they are familiar with. And soon into the book, the children will be able to predict and read the line, "and... little green peas".
This book is probably best for children ages 2-5 years old. The younger children will work on their color recognition and eventually pick up on the repetitive line. And older children can start reading the book on their own and matching words to the illustrations.

The rhymes weren't as much fun here as in LMNO Peas, but I loved the illustrations of all those little green peas. So much to hunt for!

In my opinion “Little Green Peas” will become a favorite for any teacher looking to teach primary colors. The book is great in that it is repetitive in nature. Each page features a different color and an illustration of little green peas interacting with items that are associated with that

color. The book is repetitive in that it contains the same phrase “little green peas” for each color. The illustrations are bright and whimsical. The little green peas look like they are having a wonderful time in each color scene. The repetition, and bright illustrations are a great tool to keep the reader engaged in the story. The main idea of the book is that color is everywhere. Show Less

It’s very apparent to me that I do not get why this book and its siblings are so popular. The illustrations are lovely, but one minute they are peas, then sprouts, back to peas, then to guys. It doesn’t follow a pattern of flow, and in all honesty, I thought the story was quite slow for so few

I love this book. It's so colorful, cheerful, and populated by darling little green peas. I think this is a perfect book to read with a child. There are so many things going on at once that the adult can discuss with the child. I like that different shades and hues of the color are shown, to help
Most of the pages focus one color, but that's never the only color. At one point on one of the blue pages, for example, there are various red things, and a beach ball with a red stripe. Once the child is getting the hang of the colors, the adult can point to the anomalous colors and ask the child what they are, or ask the child to point to something red. Of course, they also add to the charm of the pictures.
Most of the little verses end in "little green peas," but Kevin Baker switches the rhyme occasionally, to keep the readers on their toes, and introduce a little variation. I think that it might help children understand the concept of rhyming.
