The Peacock 'At Home:' A Sequel to the Butterfly's Ball

"The Peacock 'At Home:'" by Catherine Ann Turner Dorset is a delightful poem that continues the tradition of animal-themed celebrations. When the birds feel left out of the butterfly and cricket festivities, the proud Peacock decides to throw the most spectacular party of all on St. Valentine’s Day, inviting birds from far and wide to partake in a grand ball. The book paints a vivid picture of birds with distinct personalities coming together for food, dance filled playful antics, and social interaction, all while giving a sly peek at the vanities, rivalries, and social structures found within the bird community.
