Hank Goes Peck

Illustrated by Duncan Beedie
This humorous board book for children ages 2-5 explores the themes of friendship and being considerate of others.

Hank the goose has a tendency to peck--and no animal on the farm is safe! Will he learn to be more considerate of others? Features a "pecked" die cut on each spread.


The lovable anti-hero Hank the goose is back--and he's causing more chaos than ever! He loves to peck, so when he sees the chicks bouncing and playing, he pecks a hole in their trampoline. He punctures the piglets' inflatable pool, and he pecks at the sheep's knitting, causing a tangled mess.

Will Hank EVER learn to be considerate of his friends? This humorous story presents the themes of friendship, recognizing others' feelings, and being considerate of those around us.

Features a "pecked" die cut on each spread. Continuation of a character launch, with a new picture book planned for fall 2025!
Maudie Powell-Tuck spends too much of her time in expensive shops looking at clothes and glittery things she can’t afford, and dreaming about owning a pug named Stanley (when she's not writing, of course). She’d love to say that she runs marathons – but that would be a lie.

Duncan Beedie is an author and illustrator with more than 15 years of  experience working in children's media. He began his career in children's TV as an animator before branching into design and animation for websites, games, and educational apps. In his spare time, Duncan likes to walk his dog and help his daughter improve her video-gaming skill set.
