Booklist - 04/01/2017 All Lee the pea’s friends are peas—small, round, and green, just like him—except for Colin. Colin’s tall, rectangular, and orange: he can’t roll or bounce like the peas, and he stands out too much to be good at playing hide-and-seek. However, Colin can be an “excellent tower,” “a fantastic bridge, and a great slide,” which Lee demonstrates, and soon the other peas join in. “Colin isn’t at all like Lee and the other peas. And that’s just the way they like it.” Though his appearance suggests Colin is a carrot stick, he is only identified as “not a pea” (title aside, the word carrot is not used). Still, the uncomplicated approach, consisting of spare, straightforward text and simple, bold illustrations—rendered in just two colors, orange and green, and two shapes, circles and rectangles, all with dot-and-line faces—will appeal to younger ages. While accessibly conveying the familiar, welcome theme of accepting and embracing differences, this playful, droll picture book might also provide an opportunity to explore different ways to be a friend. - Copyright 2017 Booklist.
