Peas and Thank You! / VeggieTales

by Mike Nawrocki

Overview

Help your child learn “zee” importance of good manners! In the village of West Manor, you can stay, if you please, in a well-mannered town populated by Peas. All the natives are friendly—they go out of their way. When you stop to say, “Thank you!” – “Why, you’re welcome!” they’ll say. In the village of South Boorish, on the North side of town, lives a rude population—the rudest around. They’re, so very ill-mannered, such impolite Beans. If you stop to say, “Thank you,” they won’t know what you mean! As these delightfully fun Peas and Beans head out to collect sunflower seeds, children discover that everyone wins when you learn to be polite and take turns. Sunday morning values, Saturday morning fun. Now that’s the Big Idea! Through imaginative and innovative products, Zonderkidz is feeding young souls.

Editorial Reviews

If tomatoes are talking and cucumbers are capering, it's got to be VeggieTales. Now the popular series extends itself to board books. In Bob Lends a Helping... Hand by Mike Nawrocki, illus. by Cindy Kenney, Bob the tomato works at being "God's superhero" by doing the housework for an injured vegetable. Other lessons in good behavior and good manners are taught in Larry Learns to Listen by Karen Poth; Junior and Laura Share the Year Together by Lisa Vischer and Mary Murray; and Peas and Thank You! by Nawrocki.
