This silly and quirky dinnertime caper about a rebellious pea's adventures shows what can happen when you take your eyes off your food--perfect for fans of Sue Hendra, Paul Linnet, and Jory John!

It's time for dinner, but one pesky pea has decided to roll himself off the plate in search of a party! The rogue pea shoots, flings, and bounces across the kitchen as he embarks on his perilous adventure. But will he find the fun he is looking for, or is the kitchen a scarier place than he thought?
