Fun, original, and thoroughly 'kid friendly', Astro Pea is especially and unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, kindergarten, and community library board book collections for young readers. -- Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch Its a fun story about space and exploring, and a sweet story about making new friends. The artwork is bright, with primary colors leaping off the jet black background of outer space. The anthropomorphic veggies have smiley little faces, and the simple artwork and text makes for an attention-grabbing storytime selection.
