Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea
Morag Hood
Lee is a pea. All of his friends are peas; except Colin. Colin isn’t a pea.
And so begins the deliciously funny story of two very different friends: a small green pea and a tall orange carrot stick. Colin the carrot can’t do everything the peas can, but he has some special carrot-y qualities that make him a very good friend to have.
All about the beauty of making friends with people (or vegetables) who are different from you, boys and girls alike will love Colin and Lee’s clear shapes, bright colours and the playful approach to everyday objects that make this book an instant favourite.
Made using just a collage of supermarket plastic bags and painted facial expressions, Morag Hood has created a timeless picture book with unique and engaging artwork that is brimming with warmth and humour. With the bold simplicity of Herve Tullet or Dick Bruna’s Miffy, and a dry wit and charm all of Morag’s own, it is a fantastically funny story that appeals to the very youngest child – and makes adults laugh out loud.
Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea is a brilliant debut from Morag Hood, runner-up in The Macmillan Prize for Illustration.

I like that the sad one is Lee. He can't bounce buy he makes an excellent slide and an excellent tower. He is too tall to be a pea. I like that they're best firends

I liked this book because it has a carrot and pea that are friends, but they are not the same.

I loved this book because it didn't matter whether they were the same or not. They were still best friends.

I thought it was good because all lee friends were peas expect collin and carrot couldn't do the things the peas do but the peas couldn't do the things the carrot does. I thought I read a good book. It wasn't factual I think. Yes I would recommend it to someone else.
