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.
