This chunky board book is a perfect festive read for babies and toddlers. Written in upbeat rhyme, it follows a group of adorable little peas as they count down to Christmas.
At the start of the story we have five peas, but page by page we lose one as they head off to complete their final preparations for the big day. One bounces away in pure excitement, one leaves to sort out the decorations, one visits Santa’s Grotto and one goes to bed early – leaving just one smiling pea sitting on top of the tree giggling as she watches Santa’s legs come dangling down the chimney.
Will all the peas make it back in time to open their presents?
This is a joy to read aloud and we love the bold, colourful illustrations. There are cut out sections and the peas are raised, making them very attractive for small hands. The final page also features some textured wrapping paper and shiny sections for them to explore.
