Description
A "hole" lot of fun!
Today my daddy said to me, "It's time you learnt to peck a tree." Little Woodpecker has just learnt how to peck and - ooh! yippee! - what fun it is! Off he goes, on his first big pecking adventure, and he peck, peck, pecks his little heart out. He pecks the hat and then the mat, the tennis racket AND the jacket... just LOOK at all the holes he has made! Comical, contemporary and original! A stunning new picture book title from Lucy Cousins, with colour so exuberant it leaps right off the page.

Reviews
This is a fun read for parents and children * Recommended Reads *
Comical and original, this vivacious picture book from the creator of Maisy features a lovable new character * goodreads *
There are domestic objects and primary colours to point at and identify, to increase vocabulary; and intentionally loose use of rhyme and repetition, which hypnotise small children. There is the reassurance of parental love, an involved father, the humour and the thrill of the naughtiness of destroying things, the truth about toddlers that they will do things obsessively, and the lesson that learning takes practice. Riches. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times *
