The fabulous new character from Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, the bestselling, award-winning creators of Barry the Fish with Fingers, I Need a Wee and Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell. 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. Science: the healthy eating plate – this book really makes vegetables exciting, which is such a bonus for encouraging children to eat their 5-a-day. In personifying the vegetables in a positive way, it creates a real buzz and excitement for eating fruit and veg, so this can be reinforced by teaching them about healthy eating and balanced diets.

A hilarious and anarchic story with truly brilliant characters. No child could fail to fall in love with Supertato and his veggie companions. I read this book with a foundation stage class as we were working on the topic of superheroes. I wasn't sure how this book would be received by the children as some were very interested in superheroes and others were not. An innovative concept, playing on the excitement of superheroes but with a real twist: it is all about vegetables, a superhero potato, and a mischievous evil pea causing havoc in the supermarket isles. This book is both a fun and entertaining read, perfect for a class story-time, but also has so many practical applications within the classroom. It is great for EYFS and Year 1 stage, but it could definitely be applied in the Year 2 classroom and beyond depending on the activities.

This is possibly one of my favourite children's books that I have read so far. Having seen it used within a Year 1 classroom during a week's work experience, I decided to revisit it for my first book of the challenge.

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. Hilarious... One of the funniest picture books this year - read it and laugh out loud!'
