About the book

Pete the pea jumps out of his pod, hops on a carrot rocket and blasts off for a fun adventure.  This book is full of creativity and imagination starring a fun cast of vegetables characters.

The author has transformed a carrot into a rocket ship, a head of cauliflower into a cluster of stars, a corn-trol shuttle that rescues Pete when he has a malfunction, a stalk of asparagus that has morphed into a telescope, an eggplant that substitutes as another spaceship and a mushroom that serves as a parachute when Pete needs it most, just to name a few.  Do you think that the mushroom parachute will make a home-delivery for poor homesick Pete?  

The illustrations are delightful and are the crown jewels of the story.  They are bold, bright, colourful and very kid-friendly.  Kids will have fun identifying the different veggies and who knows? This book might be the very thing they need to want to sample each and every one thus discovering that veggies are out of this world!
