Thank you to NetGalley for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The Runaway Pea Left Behind is a funny adventure that is amusing for both reader and listener. With lots of onomatopoeia, there are many words for parents to emphasis and have fun with, making this such an exciting experience to share together.
Poskitt’s rhythmic prose is so much fun to read and young listeners will laugh out loud at Pea’s entertaining journey. The illustrations by Alex Wilmore are also brilliant and I loved the layout of the pages as Pea pings from one obstacle to another.
This is a book that I would be happy to read over and over again, and there are already two other books in the series to start collecting.
Pea may be small, but his story is epic.
