Baker's cheery pea characters (and pea puns) are in fine form in this Christmas celebration. "Twinkly lights, lots and lots / (after untangling all the knots)." Decking the halls, front doors, and town, the peas then sing carols, frost cookies, make popcorn and paper chains ("don't eat the glue!"), and play in the snow. After exchanging gifts, the green gang wishes everyone "Peas on Earth!...Hap-Pea New Year!" The exuberant rhyming text is well matched by vibrant illustrations bursting with holiday spirit.--Horn Book "November/December Issue"
