Book #3- Picture Books


 

Title: Eat Your Peas Ivy Louise!

Author and Illustrator: Leo Landry 

Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company 
Publication Date: 2005

ISBN Number: 0-618-44886-1

Brief Summary: This book is about a small girl named Ivy Louise who has peas for dinner. Her parents instruct her to eat her peas, but instead she watches them roll around her tray and imagines that they are performing circus acts for her. In the end, she launches the peas out the window to make it seem as if she had eaten them! 

Evaluation: This was a cute book with a relatable plot. Many kids have tried clever ways to make their vegetables disappear (me included) and this story makes that situation a lot more fun than it actually is. The book appeals to the kids imagination as it personifies the peas with smiling faces, doing things that peas don't normally do. The font was clear and easy to read, and the illustrations were simple using a consistent color scheme of yellow green and white. I thought the peas were really cute and think that the kids who read this book will think so too. 

Rating: 3 out of 5 peas!
