Colin & Lee Carrot & Pea

Lee is a pea. All of his friends are peas; except Colin. Colin isnt a pea. And so begins the deliciously funny story of two very different friends - a small green pea and a tall orange carrot stick. Colin the carrot cant do everything the peas can but he has some special carrot-y qualities that make him a very good friend to have. All about the beauty of making friends with people (or vegetables) who are different from you boys and girls alike will love Colin and Lees clear shapes bright colours and the playful approach to everyday objects that make this book an instant favourite. Enjoy in this lovely and durable hardback board book. Made using just a collage of supermarket plastic bags and painted facial expressions Morag Hood has created a timeless picture book with unique and engaging artwork that is brimming with warmth and humour. With the bold simplicity of Herve Tullet or Dick Brunas Miffy and a dry wit and charm all of Morags own it is a fantastically funny story that appeals to the very youngest child - and makes adults laugh out loud. Colin and Lee Carrot and Pea is a brilliant debut from Morag Hood runner-up in The Macmillan Prize for Illustration.
