'Peedie' means small if you live in Orkney... and can be used as a term of endearment. So we have a real island flavour with this piecture book about a toddler who turns the house upside down. We see what he gets up to in both summer and winter by a 'Lift-the-Flap' system which turns each right-hand spread into a full height picture. Unlike many books using this techniques, here's one which won't get instantly dog-eared and torn.
