Get ready to roll with Pea, Bee, & Jay in this brand-new early reader graphic novel series by Brian "Smitty" Smith, perfect for fans of Narwhal & Jelly, emerging readers, and comic lovers alike!

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 might help Pea find his way back home!

Praise for Pea, Bee, & Jay:

Reviews
"Readers will 'bee' delighted by this earnest and endearing tale." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Puns and jokes abound, making this series opener as silly as it is sincere about friendship's value. Pea, Bee, and Jay may make for unlikely companions, but just like the sandwich, they form an unbeatable team." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Funny, punny, fearless, and even corny, Smith is a master wordsmith with an innate sense of what makes children chuckle." - School Library Journal (starred review)
