Two Can Toucan
Age 5+
Picture Books
There was once a bird in the forest that was completely black, except for his white eyes, who was laughed at by all the other animals because he did not have a name. So he must go to seek his fortune.
A modern fable that answers the question "How did the toucan get its name?" - and also incidentally his amazing colours.
This beautiful hardback edition of David McKee's first ever picture book – published in its original size - is reissued to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Andersen Press.
