Publisher Description
Get ready to roll with Pea, Bee, & Jay in this
brand-new early reader graphic novel series by Brian “Smitty” Smith, perfect
for fans of Narwhal & Jelly, emerging readers, and comic lovers alike!
Like all peas, Pea loves to roll. So when a no-good
strawberry dares him to roll all the way off the farm, he swears he can do it—eazy
me-zee!
But along the way, a powerful thunderstorm strikes and
bounces Pea off course...and right into two unlikely new buds: a bee named Bee
who thinks she knows it all, and a bird named Jay who can’t figure out how to
fly.
On their own they may not look like much, but if this trio
can stick together, they just might help Pea find his way back home!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A green pea, a bespectacled honeybee, and a blue jay become fast friends in this lively graphic novel early reader. "No rolling too far from our row," warns Pea's mother, but it's not long before a dare sends Pea on a fast-paced adventure beyond the farm. Smith's cinematic panels capture the action with suspense and style: storm clouds gather in the distance as Pea rolls under the fence and eventually to a stop, lost, beside Bee. Though Bee claims that birds are "the absolute worst," the pair is soon joined by Jay, a flightless lone bluejay. Venturing forth, the trio works together to get past tough-talking acorns, raspberry-blowing raspberries, and a sly, yellow-eyed villain. Puns and jokes abound, making this series opener as silly as it is sincere about friendship's value. Pea, Bee, and Jay may make for unlikely companions, but just like the sandwich, they form an unbeatable team. Publishing simultaneously: Wannabees (Pea, Bee, & Jay #2). Ages 6 10.
