Written & illustrated by Brian Wildsmith
A noisy feud turns heroic when pecking saves a life.
In a forest where peace is shattered by constant pecking, Owl and Woodpecker are at odds. Owl's daytime slumber is disrupted, leading to a feud that even the forest animals can't resolve. But when danger strikes, Woodpecker's relentless pecking becomes a lifeline, forcing Owl to reconsider their rivalry. Can a storm and a brave act transform enemies into allies?
Woodpecker and Owl are neighbors but not friends. Owl does nothing but complain about Woodpecker’s pecking, which interrupts his daytime sleeping. The feud between the two gets so big, and Owl’s temper so foul, that the other forest anilmals try to intercede – to no avail. Even a pair of hard-working beavers gnawing away at Owl’s tree trunk won’t get him to move. But Owl has an enormous change of heart when Woodpecker’s bravery – and his pecking – save Owl’s life.
