Colin and Lee: Carrot and Pea
by Morag Hood
Interest age: 3 to 5
Published by Two Hoots, 2016
About this book
Colin is a carrot, and Lee is a pea.
Colin isn’t at all like Lee and his friends, but he does make a great bridge for them to roll over, a tower for them to sit on and a great slide to roll down.
An amusing and deceptively simple look at friendship and difference, this is a lovely book for young readers.
