Pickin' Peas by Margaret Read MacDonald
3.0
((I received this book as an eARC from NetGalley))
Little Girl is in her garden picking peas and singing. A rabbit comes along and starts sneakily eating up all her peas. What will she do when she catches him?
The story is cute, but what I really love are the illustrations. They're so fun and colorful. There are a lot of pages with full-color illustrations and no text, perfect when reading with younger kids. They'll be able to point out all the actions and objects in the pictures without being distracted by the text.
I won't be using this story in my classroom because there is a song component to the story, and as I teach deaf and hard of hearing students, it would be too confusing for them. It would be a cute book for a preschool or kindergarten classroom doing a lesson on gardening or plant life cycles.
