All about the Time to Read book pack 2020: The Runaway Pea

An exciting story to read together, with lots of playful words in a lovely rhyming text, we all loved The Runaway Pea.

The Runaway Pea

Over 740,000 copies of Kjartan Poskitt and Alex Willmore's hilarious picture book were given out to reception children during the 2020 Autumn term.

Children loved The Runaway Pea, a fantastic story about a little pea that does NOT want to be eaten, thank you very much. It’s not time for tea; it’s time for adventure!
