Synopsis
This sweet and funny bedtime book explores how friendship is more important than material items.
Toucan is having a sleepover for all of his friends, and he’s so excited! But his friends are even MORE excited, and they are sure it’s going to be the BEST SLEEPOVER EVER. Poor Toucan is worried that he won’t be able to make his sleepover special. So he sets off into the forest to find the YUMMIEST berries, the SOFTEST blankets, and the BIGGEST flowers. But on his way back to his house, disaster strikes, and Toucan loses all of the treasures he collected. Is the sleepover ruined?
Review by Stacey
Good Night, Toucan is a young children’s picture book that shows the reader what friendship is really about.
Toucan has invited his friends for a sleepover, but as he looks at what he has ready for their night-time party he isn’t happy. He decides to try and find better flowers, food, etc. But not everything goes according to plan.
I love how dedicated Toucan is to his sleepover and how much he wants it to be perfect for his friends when in reality the friends just want Toucan and not fancy accessories.
The story will hopefully show children that it is their friendship and time that their friends want (I think some adults could do with learning this lesson too!). I love the full-page illustrations that are bright, colourful, and represent the story perfectly.
Good Night, Toucan is a beautiful read. It is only 32 pages and with little text, it is ideal for a bedtime story.
