I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
Woodpecker Wants a Waffle written and illustrated by Steve Breen is an adorable picture book about a woodpecker that smells some waffles at Moe’s Diner and now all he wants is to try one! The other animals just don’t understand why he would want any since everyone knows woodpeckers don’t each waffles.
One day Benny the woodpecker awakens to the best tummy-rumbling smell ever and discovers it’s something called waffles. He must taste them!
He pecks on the door of the waffle house, but he gets the boot.
BAP!
He tries to sneak in, but he gets swept away.
FWAP!
Each time Benny tries, he just can?t seem to get to those delicious waffles. The other forest animals laugh at him: ?Woodpeckers don?t eat waffles!? they say. But Benny has a brilliant plan. . . .
Breen has created an adorable picture book that kids will want you to read to them? over and over again.?Woodpecker Wants a Waffle is a cute reminder that when you put your mind to it and use a little bit of creativity one can achieve almost anything!
