(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jeff Ebbeler. Bespectacled pea Arlo, preferring "to grow up and find out what I'll be" rather than getting turned into stir-fry or soup, rolls away from his pod and avoids garden inhabitants who'd like to eat him. He abruptly falls "fast asleep" until next spring, when he awakens as a pea vine. While the story line is forgettable, the personified fruits and vegetables add humor.
