Peas and Quiet

A delightful story about friendship and compromise from award-winning Australian creators.

Best friends Pip and Pop live in a peapod, but sometimes it can get a little too cosy - especially because they are so different!

Pip loves to sing, while Pop won't stop snoring. How are they ever going to work out how to live together?

From award-winning author Gabrielle Tozer and illustrator Sue deGennaro comes the perfect book about friendship and learning how to get along.
