Peas Please!

Ever wondered where the peas on your plate begin? This photo-rich information book follows the pea from the soil where it grows to the dinner table, explaining how the plant develops and how the crop gets from farm to kitchen.

Written at Band 3 (yellow level) for early readers, the text mixes short and longer sentences in everyday language. As an information book, it sets out facts in order rather than telling a story.

A flow chart on pages 14 and 15 traces the route from soil to dinner plate, so young readers can retell the process step by step. The book also connects to the science curriculum topic of plants and animals.
