Description
A vibrant picture book story to help encourage picky or reluctant eaters, perfect to read together with children aged 3+ "I can't eat peas!" exclaimed Milo. "They're too GREEN! Greener than a stinky, swampy pond, greener than a giant dragon, greener than a fleet of space-sick aliens." It's fair to say that Milo doesn't like peas! Is it possible that his sister could help him change his mind by showing them how cool they can be? A fun, fantastical picture book which might just encourage little ones to give peas a chance!
Milo is REALLY not keen on peas - but his sister shows him just how cool they can be. A vibrant, fantastical picture book which might just encourage little ones to give peas a chance!
About the Author
Tom McLaughlin has written and illustrated several books for Bloomsbury, including Along Came a Different and The Story Machine, which has received wonderfully positive reviews and has sparked a number of thought-provoking articles on dyslexia (which Tom understands well, being dyslexic himself). Tom loves drinking tea, eating lunch and drawing (in no particular order). He lives in Devon.
Reviews
The book celebrates difference through the introduction of shapes and colours, recognising that being different doesn't mean you can't be friends * Guardian on ALONG CAME A DIFFERENT *
A winner of a book about the power of drawing and storytelling * Oliver Jeffers on THE STORYMACHINE *
Dyslexic readers should derive inspiration from this book's message, and delight in the drawings. A charming, rewarding, instructive read * Financial Times on THE CLOUDSPOTTER *
Galactic resonances call to mind not only Oliver Jeffers' star-catching protagonists, but also a hint of The Little Prince * Guardian on UP, UP AND AWAY *
This fun, fantastical picture book, with its big, bold illustrations, is a lot of fun [...] A good picture book to use as a conversation starter and to complement activities based on healthy foods and mealtimes. And it just might encourage reluctant veg eaters to give peas a go * Nursery World Magazine *
