Eat your peas Louise, You will like good peas like these. How fat and round they are, just squeeze. And so you have the gist of this primer in rhyme. Louise just does not want to eat her peas and your young reader will enjoy watching dad trying to make her eat them. This is a delightful little primer which introduces fifty-three words. Mike Venezia's illustrations, which look like they were done with color pencils, are just adorable and they really complement Pegeen Snow's rhyming text. I like all the Rookie Reader books. They are just a great way to get a little pre-schooler started on his or her reading career. And an early start is so important in today's world. Children need every advantage they can get, so if you're a parent or guardian of a precious little one, I highly recommend Rookie Reader books. The dividends they will pay in the long run will be priceless.
Good Book for Learning to Read - a review of "Eat Your Peas Louise"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
"Eat your peas" is how this little book begins. But Louise is proving to be a tough sell and her brother has to try and try before he succeeds. Would you like them with cheese? Try a fork, or a spoon.... If you eat them we can do something fun together... well you get the idea. As for reading level, this is a fairly easy book with about 53 different vocabulary words. The hardest of which are: cheese, climb, count, don't, please, squeeze and tease. Many are simple like: and, are, the, you and them. Four Stars. Cute book young readers should like. More pictures than sentences makes this a good primer for emergent readers. Most pages have only 1 sentence.
Great Book For Beginning Readers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a great book for children who are starting to read by themselves. They can read about how Louise's brother tries to get her to eat peas. He has to try many different ways before he is successful. This is an easy book to read because many words are from the same word family (please, Louise, peas) Also this is a good book for children who might not always want to eat their vegtables.
