"We're acrobats, artists, and astronauts in space. / We're builders, bathers, and bikers in a race." In bouncy rhyming couplets, Baker goes through the alphabet and comes up with identities for peas. Visual and verbal jokes abound; this is a book for close examination rather than group sharing, rewarding attention with some clever ideas and many laughs.
