Woodpecker Wants a Waffle

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | June, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-234257-7 $17.99
(3) K-3 Tempted by "the best tummy-rumbling smell," Benny the woodpecker develops scheme after scheme to sneak into Moe's diner to taste a waffle. Clever, Looney Tunes–esque slapstick--chock-full of kid-appeal--ensues as an onslaught of naysaying animals are duped into being part of Benny's final, successful plan. Ink-outlined watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations effectively unite woodland softness with cartoon sensibilities.
