Woodpecker is learning to peck and he wants to practice so he pecks through everything until he tires himself out.While his adventure is a little farfetched by pecking through things that he normally wouldn't peck through or even go near it was still so much fun to use in storytime because I had the kids helping me with the pecking sounds. They loved it so much that they couldn't stop laughing which is why this book is rated at 5 stars because it was such a big hit with the kids. Age: Infant-preschoolAnimal: Bird, woodpeckerConcept skill: identification of objects, including by color This is a wonderfully creative way to have very young children identify objects on a page. Most pages have a hole (or many, many holes) that the woodpecker has pecked through. In a sing-songy pattern, the text lists the objects that the bird has pecked through.I was worried that the holes would not be library-friendly but the pages are sturdy and the holes small. I'll be buying another copy!
I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. It's very colorful and fun and simple, and yet...
