Shanté Keys and the New Year's Peas

32 pp. | Whitman | November, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-7330-3 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marion Eldridge. It's New Year's, but Grandma has forgotten to cook good-luck black-eyed peas. When Shanté asks her various neighbors for some, they each detail their own New Year's foods and customs. Every line of the jaunty text rhymes with peas, and part of the fun is trying to anticipate the rhyme. Energetic, good-natured illustrations document Shanté's search and ultimate success.
