There isn't much that gets childlike vegetable Little Pea down--except candy, which "you have to eat for dinner every night when you're a pea." After forcing down the five requisite pieces, he gets a spinach dessert--"My favorite!" This one-note joke doesn't go anywhere, but kids may be amused by the premise and the book's round, smiley, green protagonist.
