Two Can Toucan by David Mckee

Two Can Toucan by David Mckee

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 goes to seek his fortune - and perhaps find a name! A modern fable that answers the question "How did the toucan get its name?" - and also incidentally his amazing colours!

"McKee’s unstated, surreal humour is as distinctive as his graphic style, and this is a book to delight readers of all ages" -- Andrea Reece * Lovereading4Kids *
"Filled with gentle humour and populated with the quirkiest jungle animals." * Big Issue in the North, Nick Sharratt *
"Master of the children's parable." * The Listener *
