Reviews / Votes
"Filled with delicious tongue-twisters and a very rhythmical pace of the narrative, this book should be `acted out', ideally in expressive, silly voices. Better still, it could work as a basis for a classroom play; giggles and fun guaranteed." -- SLA Magazine (UK) "MacIver's simple text has lots of bounce and phonic crunch. Davis' illustrations, besides being colorful, effectively communicate motion and fun." -- Kirkus Reviews (US) "Get ready to dace and cheer along with the irrepressible Toucan... The illustrations are full of texture and life with kooky characters accumulating throughout... Fun from beginning to end" -- Magpies (AU)More details
