Louise is given all sorts of reasons for eating her peas. Includes suggested learning activities.

Busy little peas introduce their favorite occupations, from astronaut to zoologist.

In a garden near Beijing, five peas in a shell grow and wait to discover what fate has in store for them.

Parents will relate to this amusing twist on the age-old "eat your vegetables!" refrain. Amy Krouse Rosenthal brought her knack for making parenting issues funny to a children's book, in the story of a pea who doesn't want to eat his dinner.

"It is Valentine's Day, and there are lots of hap-pea hearts for the peas to give away"--

"This little pea is hungry! So hungry it swallows a sprout, slurps up some soup, munches the bread, gobbles the cake, noshes the pickle, guzzles the cheese, drinks all the tea, and even chomps down the table it's all served on. After all that, it needs to sleep. But whose dinner did it steal? And whose mattress is the now-humongous pea resting under?"--

"Its time for dinner, but one pesky pea has decided to roll himself off the plate in search of a party! The rogue pea shoots, flings, and bounces across the kitchen as he embarks on his perilous adventure. But will he find the fun he is looking for, or is the kitchen a scarier place than he thought?" --

"Like all peas, Pea loves to roll. So when a no-good strawberry dares him to roll all the way off the farm, he swears he can do it--eazy me-zee! But along the way, a powerful thunderstorm strikes and bounces Pea off course...and right into two unlikely new buds: a bee named Bee who thinks she knows it all, and a bird named Jay who can't figure out how to fly. On their own they may not look like much, but if this trio can stick together, they just...

"Jay the blue jay has never learned to fly, which has never been a problem . . . until a crew of super cool birds touch down at the farm and invite him to play some super cool flying games. Now Jay needs to figure out how to fly--and fast--before he misses out on all the fun. Lucky for him, his best buds Pea and Bee know just what to do."--
