The latest addition to the laugh-out-loud series of picture books by award-winning author Huw Lewis Jones and illustrator Ben Sanders, in which the naughty antics of a truly terrible piece of fruit, Bad Apple, prove deliciously entertaining.

In this festive edition, Bad Apple faces his greatest challenge yet: it's Christmas day and everyone is just so ... jolly. Granny Smith's carol singing and Pineapple's incessant dancing are grating to say the least, but it's the cheery arrival of Pea and his extended family that pushes Bad Apple over the edge. It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas ... but how long can the Peas last?

"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." --
