birds" in this true story of a peacock family that lives in his garden.

peachicks are Little Prince, Solomon and Sweet Pea. A strange cat frightens
the peachicks but Prince is too busy trying to get attention to help guard
his family. When he has to be rescued from the rooftop of a nearby house,
he causes quite a stir. Children alone in the house provide a good example
for what to do when a stranger comes to the door. have extra fun exploring
the illustrations to find cats and words cleverly hidden in the artwork.

way to introduce children to the use of chapters. 32 pgs. Ages 6-10.
