Synopsis

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.

Media Reviews
This is a fun read for parents and children * Recommended Reads *
Definitely destined to be right at the top of the pecking order when it comes to story time sessions at home, in nurseries, schools and libraries * Red Reading Hub *
The story is stripped-down and expertly paced, and the idea of receiving warm praise from a parent for poking holes in a bunch of random objects stays funny all the way through * Publishers Weekly *
Cousins combines subtle humor that build over the course of the story along with a virtual, visual catalog . . . witty and charming * books4yourkids.com *
Brilliant Lucy Cousins has created a fabulous new book which is full of holes . . . young readers will love to explore them with their little fingers while they laugh at the ridiculous places the woodpecker has pecked -- Julia Ecclehare * Lovereading4kids *
One of the best picturebooks of 2013 * Junior *
The text has a great rhythm and rhyme to it * Radnor Library Kid Zone *
This book has everything: Startling colours! Wonderful rhyme! Silly humour! HOLES!! I think this gorgeous book about a father woodpecker teaching his child what he really needs in life (good pecking skills) is an exceptionally good book for the youngest of children . . . marvellous, hilarious * Playing by the book *
Selected by Time Out as the 'best for under-fives: the best of 2013's books for kids'. -- Natasha Polyviou * Time Out *
A great introduction to counting using all the holes and to the rhythms and sounds of rhyme. -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
This book immediately demands attention with its bold red title and the bright yellow board cover with holes through it, so inviting for small fingers. This amusing tale is told through rhyme with bold text and colourful illustrations * Carousel *
