We belong together. Combined, we make a dish. We're made for one another, 'Cause together we're delish. Some things in life are made for each other: peanut butter and jelly, pancakes and syrup, hot dogs and relish . . . and two best friends who together create the ultimate recipe for friendship! Sweet, rhyming text and sidesplitting illustrations welcome young readers into a whimsical world of tasty combinations and tender sentiments and make them hungry for another read. Perfect for friends of any age, You Are the Pea, and I Am the Carrot is a delicious gift for the one you love. Praise for You are the Pea, and I am the Carrot "The text's springboard is a cherished, symbiotic adult relationship (as Elkins' dedication attests), which is lovely..." --Kirkus Reviews "The concept is sound, celebrating the love between friends or family members..." --School Library Journal "Every vignette is worth at least a giggle, usually an 'Awww,' and, in one instance, a book of its own..." --Publishers Weekly
