Divided into sections including Food, Childhood, Brothers, School, Being a Dad, and Being Silly—each illustrated in full color by a different artist, including Michael Rosen’s longtime collaborator Quentin Blake—Peas on Your Knees is a poet’s playful ode to life itself. In a career spanning five decades, with more than two hundred books to his credit, including the international bestseller We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and Oh Dear, Look What I Got!, both illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, Michael Rosen’s warmth, wit, and unflinching honesty have delighted generations of readers. Whether you’re a confirmed fan or discovering his child-centric genius for the first time, each of these thirty-five poems—some profound, others silly, many profoundly silly—is a little window into everyday life, whether the subject is forbidden chocolate cake or getting into REALLY BIG TROUBLE with a sibling. Featuring an introduction by Joseph Coelho, OBE, this intimate collection is a loving tribute to the “happy, sad, bizarre, and ridiculous nature of life.”
