Product Description
Book Description
Join the jungle fun in this series of delightfully simple and surprising tales for early readers.
Product Description
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.

Featuring a host of jungle animals, Colin West presents a more complex story,
By
This review is from: "Go Tell It to the Toucan" (Paperback)
with the usual twist at the end!
Simply illustrated paperback covers open to 30 high quality shiny pages, in the popular 2-page spread format. With detailed illustrations throughout, this book is further enhanced by meaningful facial expressions and the repeat element. Clearly laid out text....far more than the other titles in the series......representing a true challenge! Example of text:- 'Hey, today it is my birthday! thought the elephant one morning. I'll go tell it to the toucan, so then he'll tell everybody all about my birthday party, and we'll have a jamboree! So Old Jumbo looked around him but he couldn't find the toucan, so instead he told the tiger: "Hey, today it is my birthday! Please go tell it to the toucan, so then he'll tell everybody all about my birthday party, and we'll have a jamboree!....' ....and as the tiger also struggles to find the toucan, he passes the message on and..... ......as that toucan remains elusive, more and more creatures, including:- the rhino the zebra the ostrich the lizard the leopard the cricket............. join the growing list! Until, eventually........success, at last........ ....or is it? In my experience, this book has proved the most challenging of the titles, especially on the narrating front with the task to get to the end of the list of 2-syllable animals... ...... all seeking the toucan .......... to pass on the message ...... before running out of breath, which generally proves amusing to older listeners. In the older age group, useful extension work is provided by a test-the-memory game, asking the more attentive what animal comes next - also giving an excuse to pause for that aforementioned gasp for breath! The younger age group are generally less receptive because some of the animals are new to them and their attention does tend to wander! However, one of the other titles in the series is a great starting point to progress from:- "Pardon?" said the Giraffe "Not me," said the Monkey "Have You Seen the Crocodile?" "Hello Great Big Bullfrog!"
