PreS–Peas work together to create magical, “hap-pea” holiday memories. This delightfully illustrated board book opens with the calendar turning the page to December. Readers who look closer will find several green peas cheering “Hap-pea, hap-pea ­holidays! All year long we wait and wait. Now it’s time–”. The little peas work together to climb up ladders onto Christmas trees, dressing them with twinkly lights, ­garlands of silver and gold beads, and sparkly ­ornaments. An outside scene shows rows of ­differently colored houses all decked out in various winter holiday decor. The peas join ­together to form a choir, singing about building a ­gingerbread house, frosting cookies, stringing popcorn, and other cozy winter ­activities. At last, the peas wish “Peas on earth! And a … Hap-Pea New Year.” ­Children and ­families who enjoy simple wordplay will appreciate this addition to a library's board book collection.
VERDICT An adorable mash-up of peas and the joy of Christmas activities with family and friends.
