Publisher's Note Kids love rhyme and rhythm and playing with words. And what better way to play with words and ideas than poetry! But this is no staid collection of Victorian favorites recycled for the modern child. This is a celebratory, rollicking joyride through all the special and crazy encounters of a kid's imaginative day. Like Shel Silverstein's best-selling poetry books for children, If Peas Could Taste Like Candy offers a whimsical look at life from a kid's-eye view. A lost quarter, bedtime prayers, a Christmas play, passing the offering plate (in which a valued last piece of gum has been misplaced) -- all figure in poems about the world around us. Children will love seeing slices of their own lives served up to them in these deliciously delightful rhymes. Through poems on school, love, church, families, and God, children will enter into the joy and wonder of living in a woad God created. If Peas Could Taste Like Candy is a fun book for the whole family to share, reinforcing concepts of God's love and care in a child's mind. Lively black-and-white cartoon illustrations illustrate the poems. A wonderful birthday gift or Christmas present that will stimulate the imagination of children and nurture their spirit.
