In this exceptionally witty and clever little board book for the very young, we meet Lee, who is a pea, and Colin, a carrot. Lee has lots of pea friends, but nevertheless, he and Colin are great friends too. There are many things Colin can't do like peas: he can't roll around or bounce like peas can, and furthermore, he is very tall - and orange! Not great for playing hide and seek with a lot of peas. But the peas learn, and so do we, that he makes an excellent tower, as well a bridge and a slide, and soon the differences don't seem different at all. This simple but effective story with artless and characterful pictures will start the youngest child on understanding that people who are different have their own talents. Really, really lovely!
