PECK, PECK, PECK
by Lucy Cousins
What it's all about . . .
A little woodpecker is taught how to peck … and gets a little carried away when visiting a nearby house.
Why it's on The Little Crooked Bookshelf . . .
Lucy Cousins’ charming, naïve illustration style is perfect for very young readers. The clever rhyming text and cumulative PECK PECK PECKs make for a great read-aloud, and the ingenious die-cut holes throughout are a visual (and textural) treat!
Our favorite line . . .
“I peck, peck, peck/a magazine,/a picture of/Aunt Geraldine,/an armchair,/a teddy bear,/and a book/called Jane Eyre."
Our favorite illustration . . .
