An irresistibly chocolate-y caper starring Supertato and the Evil Pea!
It's night-time in the supermarket and SOMEONE has stolen ALL the chocolate eggs!
Never fear! Supertato and the veggies have a plan to get them back. It's EGGciting, it's EGGcellent, but will it also be...foiled?!
There's only one way to find out!

The plot was simmering along nicely and then the climax came from nowhere, but just as Noah was getting his head around this reorientation, we turned the final page and another twist came. Cueing disappointment from Noah.
More fun than The Iliad in teaching the concept of a Trojan horse to preschoolers (the attempt fails (foiled - because Easter eggs.. ha), however - apparently The Evil Pea is well-educated or at least more credulous and less drunk than the people of Troy).
Also, this book is produced by Simon&Schuster, which is NOT among the publishers undermining the public's right to access library books (those which are trying to obliterate Open Library, archive.org, and, by extension, public libraries lending digital copies are: Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, John Wiley & Sons, and Penguin Random House (Puffin, Ladybird, etc.) - check the imprints carefully, as these giants own many subsidiaries). Just sayin'. If you're going to BUY A BOOK, think about whose shareholders and board of executers(ha! That was truly a Freudian slip! Executives, I meant!) are benefitting before you do, is my advice.
Or buy secondhand. >:) Because those aforementioned publishers are as greedy as Evil Pea and want ALL OF THE (chocolate) for themselves. ALL OF IT! MWA HA HA HA HA!
I hope they, too, are sickened by their own greed....
