PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

Take a trip to the rainforest with the creator of The Pelican Can! where you'll cheer for a hungry sloth who takes her time-through thicket and vine-in search of the tastiest leaves.

Description

This celebration of going at your own pace will remind readers that sometimes slow is the best way to go!

After some sleep,

sloth is ready to eat.

Go, Sloth, go!

In a world where the pressure to speed ahead seems relentless, now is the time to take a trip to the rainforest and cheer for the slowest mammal on Earth-a hungry sloth-who takes her time moving through thicket and vine in search of the tastiest leaves. Developed in consultation with The Sloth Conservation Foundation in Costa Rica, Toni Yuly's exploration of the sloth's habits and habitat springs to life, rendered in rich, colorful layers of torn paper and ink.

Critic Reviews

Praise for The Pelican Can!:
"Displays the pelican's power and balletic grace...the pelican's natural behavior supplies all the visual drama the story needs." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Repetitive, rhyming, call-and-response-style text makes this one a sure bet for the younger set...torn-paper, ink, and digital-media artwork is the standout here....Yuly imbues her subject with verve and energy; readers will be just as eager to see the results of the pelican's flight as the birds waiting back home in the nest."

--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"The sunnily optimistic picture book The Pelican Can! uses bold graphics to capture the vibrant world of a can-do bird."--Parade Magazine, "The 25 Best New Book Releases This Week"
"Yuly delivers plenty of page-turning visual drama... Artfully placed text mimics the pelicans' path as they fly, dive, "SPLASH!," and scoop, enhancing the book's visual delight and the appeal of decoding words and images as readers follow the pelicans from page to page."
--Horn Book
