Go Tell It to the Toucan - Softcover
Join the jungle fun in this series of delightfully simple and surprising tales for early readers. This jungle tale reads as a long joke, furnished with a hilarious punch line. A simple scenario is established, and the lively, repetitive text builds up to the satisfying end twist, which is guaranteed to tickle even the most reluctant reader. Great fun to read aloud, this lively story is perfect as an early reader and bears many repeated readings, when the punch line can be gleefully pre-empted.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1-- Bright, cheerful cartoons of 17 animals are the main attraction of this book. The text tells of an elephant who hopes to celebrate his birthday with a "birthday jamboree." He wants the toucan to invite everyone, but cannot find him. Elephant tells tiger to look for him but tiger cannot find him, so he tells warthog to look for him, but warthog cannot find him, and so on through the rest of the animals until the toucan is found and elephant has his birthday party. With the repetition of the animals' names on almost every page, the book is obviously meant to be read aloud. However, there are too many animals to hold interest, and most children will have run out of patience long before the elephant runs out of animals. --Suzanne Wolfe, Shady Side Academy Junior School, Pittsburgh
