You Are the Pea, and I Am the Carrot

(4) PS Illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre. A young boy and girl reflect on their friendship in mostly fluid rhymes. Their easy camaraderie reminds them of many common food pairings (mac and cheese, flapjacks and syrup) and some less familiar (cherries and cream). Sunny pencil and digitally colored illustrations--anthropomorphized food pictures on beige backgrounds, the kids picnicking on lots of white space--highlight the gentle mood.
