[Stephanie Tournas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Toucan tries to juggle cans – first two, then three…but can he juggle five cans? Simple, alliterative text has several words that have the ‘-an’ root – can, fan, can-can – with some rhyming. Fun retro animation-like art show a jungle setting with toucans, flamingos and other birds amid stylized plants. A silly, appealing reader.

Lots of tongue-twistery wordplay a la Fox in Socks. Features counting (through 5) and homophones.

Can toucan juggle two cans, or more? There were many puns and plays on words in this book, which was delightful for me, and language is simple enough for those just learning to read.
