School Library Journal

Peas work together to create magical, "hap-pea" holiday memories. This delightfully illustrated board book opens with the calendar turning the page to December. Readers who look closer will find several green peas cheering "Hap-pea, hap-pea holidays! All year long we wait and wait. Now it's time-". The little peas work together to climb up ladders onto Christmas trees, dressing them with twinkly lights, garlands of silver and gold beads, and sparkly ornaments. An outside scene shows rows of differently colored houses all decked out in various winter holiday decor. The peas join together to form a choir, singing about building a gingerbread house, frosting cookies, stringing popcorn, and other cozy winter activities. At last, the peas wish "Peas on earth! And a ... Hap-Pea New Year." Children and families who enjoy simple wordplay will appreciate this addition to a library's board book collection. VERDICT An adorable mash-up of peas and the joy of Christmas activities with family and friends.
