Tap! Tap! Tap!

by Keith Faulkner

Who is doing that tapping in the forest? All the animals are puzzled. It is bear cub? Is it baby beaver or little squirrel? As toddlers turn the pages, they see different animals asking their babies. “Is that you tapping?” But each baby animal says no, and kids who follow this charming story are challenged to Who is tapping in the forest? Little boys and girls can seek out clues by lifting flaps and finding hidden creatures in every illustration. Finally, the mystery is solved in a brilliant double gatefold illustration at the story’s end. A woodpecker has been doing all that tapping, and he has created a fascinating surprise. Kids will discover the surprise when they open the gatefold pages.
