My little sister, Margo, loves anything that comes with the syrup. Of course, she’s a sticky mess afterwards! I knew when she saw Woodpecker Wants a Waffle
at the local library it would be this week’s favorite.
In the story Benny,
the woodpecker, smells something delicious and learns that it’s waffles he's craving. The other animals of the forest think he’s crazy. They don’t think
that woodpeckers should eat waffles. Benny doesn’t care! He wants what he wants. He devises a plan to get the tasty
breakfast treat. Nobody believes he’ll be able to pull it off. But will he?
This was a really cute read and Margo was rooting Benny on the whole time. We found out there is a “Flat Benny” online that kids can print. Then, they can take Benny to get waffles or some other treat and share the picture with a special hash tag. I’m sure you can guess what we had for breakfast three times this week! Luckily, my dad’s a wizard in the kitchen, and cooking up delicious breakfast goodies is one of his specialties.
Has anyone else read Woodpecker Wants a Waffle? Or have you
read another book by Steve Breen? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Happy Reading!
