In this bitingly refreshing picture book, Bad Apple faces his greatest challenge yet: festive cheer.

It’s Christmas day and everyone is just so . . . jolly. Granny Smith has kick-started the caroling, and the Cheese family’s merriness is grating to say the least. But it’s the arrival of Pea and his extended family that really puts Bad Apple’s goodwill to the test. It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas . . . but how long can the Peas last?

Packed with witty wordplay and illustrated with the deadpan drawings of Ben Sanders, Peas on Earth introduces a host of new characters to the Bad Apple universe, including three wise Sprouts, Christmas Carrots, and the Baby Cheeses, just to name a few. Together, they make for a festive lunch you’ll never forget.

Sure to entertain the whole family, Peas on Earth serves up a refreshingly bitter counterbalance to sickly sweet Christmas books, without sacrificing its goodwill message.
