About this title

Synopsis

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.

Review

"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)
