From the publisher

We belong together. Combined, we make a dish. We’re made for one another, ‘Cause together we’re delish. Some things in life are made for each other: peanut butter and jelly, pancakes and syrup, hot dogs and relish . . . and two best friends who together create the ultimate recipe for friendship! Sweet, rhyming text and sidesplitting illustrations welcome young readers into a whimsical world of tasty combinations and tender sentiments and make them hungry for another read. Perfect for friends of any age, You Are the Pea, and I Am the Carrot is a delicious gift for the one you love. Praise for You are the Pea, and I am the Carrot “The text’s springboard is a cherished, symbiotic adult relationship (as Elkins’ dedication attests), which is lovely…” –Kirkus Reviews “The concept is sound, celebrating the love between friends or family members…” –School Library Journal “Every vignette is worth at least a giggle, usually an ‘Awww, ‘ and, in one instance, a book of its own…” –Publishers Weekly
