Eat Your Peas
Kes Gray Nick Sharratt (Illustrator)

It was dinner time again and Daisy just knew what her mum was going to say, even before she said it. "Eat your peas," said Mum. Daisy looked down at the little green balls that were ganging up on her plate. "I don't like peas." said Daisy. And so the battle of wills begins.
A great book enhanced by the colourful illustrations by Nick Sharratt that will be enjoyed both children and adults.
