Annotation:
Busy little peas introduce their favorite occupations, from astronaut to zoologist, in this unique alphabet book.
Reactions/Observations:
The illustrations make this book a joy to read! Every page reveals new occupations and new letters. Although I have not read this book in storytime yet, I expect children to enjoy the unpredictable antics of the peas across each spread of pages. The rhyming text is great practice for phonological awareness. Pre readers will enjoy being able to guess the different occupations by the different images. The occupation vocabulary is also a valuable feature of this text. Most children will not be exposed to this vocabulary in everyday interactions. Baker introduces complicated vocabulary effortlessly. I look forward to sharing this book in my preschool and family storytime. The book would be most appreciated by ages 3 to 7 years old.
