They all really enjoyed this book and really enjoyed the "evil pea" villain character. The illustrations are very bright and clear which appeals to young children. The use of sounds ("crash", "bang") was great. The children all began to join in and found it very amusing. Art/design: make your own super veggie superhero – either design on paper, using craft materials or, even better, with a real vegetable! It’s night-time in the supermarket and all is quiet and still. But wait. Something has escaped from the freezer. Something with plans. Evil plans. This little escapee (or escapea?) wants to cause chaos. Its targets: the fresh vegetables. Meet Supertato!

Small one gives this superlative praise. It helps that there is intimate familiarity with the subsequent CBeebies programme. What doesn't help is that I'm expected to do all the voices, incl. the squeaky shrieks of Evil Pea. I had to read this twice last night and had several coughing fits.
