What is The Pelican who Couldn't about?

Two boastful pelicans sit on a rock, determined to prove that each can eat more than the other. Their playful argument quickly turns into a hilarious challenge as they gobble up fish, sea creatures and increasingly surprising snacks. With every “I can!” and “No, you can’t!”, the pelicans grow more competitive, until one of them pushes things much too far. Full of repetition, rhythm, colourful illustrations and exciting pop-up surprises, this cheeky seaside tale delivers a memorable lesson about knowing when to stop.
