Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K–Ivy Louise is busy with her dinner. On her high-chair tray are some Oatey-O's and a spoonful of peas. As she watches, the peas form a pyramid, and a small green ringmaster introduces "the amazing, stupendous Tender Tiny Peas!" The diminutive vegetables entertain the child with their circus act while her unseen parents encourage her to "eat your peas." Everything the performers need for their stunts is already on the tray: the cup for the high dive, the Oatey-O's for the weight lifter, and the blocks for the acrobats. All of this leads up to a death-defying, surprise ending. Landry's watercolor-and-pencil illustrations are simple and uncluttered, but very effective, enabling readers to focus on the action. The Tender Tiny Peas are framed by curved lines and borders that emphasize the circus theme, and dramatic colors enhance their performances. This book is a great storytime choice for small groups or as a one-on-one read-aloud. Children will want to know what happens tomorrow night when Ivy Louise has bananas.– Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR

From Booklist

PreS. While adults nag her to eat, a toddler in a high chair plays with her food and imagines her peas acting out all kinds of wild circus scenarios. The scenario is fun, but the audience for this will be older than the high chair crowd, who may not understand the images of acrobats in pyramids and the ringmaster in his top hat. What little ones will enjoy is the fantasy mischief in the pencil-and-watercolor pictures, and the funny words about "super-snappy, roly-poly acrobats." Best of all is the truth of the small child's secret world, which adults know nothing about. Hazel Rochman

4.0 out of 5 stars play with your food, November 6, 2005
By Melissa Sack (georgia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
It's dinner time and Little Ivy Lousie wants to do anything except eat her peas. She begins to play with her peas. She imagines them in a circus. The peas do all sort of circus acts on her tray. Join Ivy Lousie and her famous circus of peas for a fun dinner show!



The only bad thing about the book is that parents may not enjoy the fact that Ivy Louise never eats her peas!


It would make a great read aloud to the preschool crowd. There are lots of fun things to look at on every page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good enough to eat, peas buy this book!, January 23, 2006
By sophie (easton, ma) - See all my reviews
Simply delicious! I would highly recommend this book for any parent wishing to bring fun to the dinner table. With his simplistic illustrations and warm colors, Leo Landry brings faces of Ivy Louise and her Tender Tiny Peas to life!

5.0 out of 5 stars A child's dinner tray holds an adventure of action, June 14, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Leo Landry writes and illustrates the very simple Eat Your Peas, Ivy Louse! which introduces readers to the world's smallest circus starring the Tender Tiny Peas. A child's dinner tray holds an adventure of action - which doesn't involve consumption, unfortunately, in this easy reader.
