Hello, I'm a Toucan (Meet the Wild Things, Book 5)
Meet the toucan in this clever, funny, and informative nonfiction picture book, part of a series that focuses on endangered species.
Meet the Wild Things gets us up close and personal with some of the world's most amazing creatures. With this series, Hayley and John Rocco are doing more than entertaining our kids—they're inspiring them to care about the future of our planet." - Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of the Ordinary People Change the World series.
Did you know a toucan's bill is four times the size of its head? But you might be surprised by how lightweight and strong it is.
And did you know that toucans use their bills to keep cool when it's hot outside, by increasing blood flow from the rest of their body to maintain the perfect temperature? You can't get much cooler than that.
But did you also know the toucan is endangered and needs our help? With humans chopping down rainforests and taking toucans from their homes to make them pets, these unique birds need our protection more than ever.
Chock-full of amazing, kid-friendly facts and inviting artwork from the #1 New York Times bestselling, Caldecott Honoree illustrator of Blackout, the Meet the Wild Things series introduces young readers to endangered animals from around the globe, told from the points of view of the animals themselves.
