A daddy woodpecker says to his son that it is time for him to learn how to peck a tree. On his first attempt, he does very well and is happy with himself. He is told to "practice hard and have some fun." And so he does by pecking holes in a door, a hat, the matt, a tennis racket, and as many other household objects he can find. The young and ambitious woodpecker even pecks a hole in a picture hanging on the wall and in the book Jane Eyre.

Lucy Cousins has written and illustrated this spunky tale about the energy of the young and their insatiable appetite for repeated behavior that gives pleasure. Peck, Peck, Peck is designed for children from 2 to 8 years of age. Kids who have seen what puppies can do with things left around the house will appreciate the tang of this entertaining tale.
