Pea Soup Disaster by Elaine Kaye is a sweet, fun, sure to put a smile on your face, children’s book that will delight the young and old alike with a simple message about bullying and a reveal of Sammy’s Secret.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Pea Soup Disaster by Elaine Kaye.

With a little silliness and a humor, this book takes a fun dive into the serious topic of bullying.

Gregory Green loves his mother's pea soup, but the kids at school claim it looks like icky bug goo. When he goes out for recess, everyone shuns him and, soon, he finds out why. Gregory Green has turned green from head to toe, and the kids at school find it hilarious.

With a format which is a cross between a picture book and a chapter book, this makes a lovely read-aloud or, perhaps, a nice story for young readers who are fairly comfortable with reading on their own. The pages of text are well balanced with pages of bright, colorful illustrations, making it fun to flip through and keep the text from bogging down. To add to the fun, little bowls of soup are added to the pages of text too.

The story itself has an important message but bundles it into a humorous story with a touch of fantasy. Gregory is an ordinary boy and is easy to relate to. His situation, while funny, still evokes sympathy. Add a very supportive family, and a clever solution, and it's a cute story kids are sure to enjoy.

I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed this book enough to want to leave my honest thoughts. ( )
