My class loved this book. Everyone sat and listened and talked about the book after we read it.

Sooo funny!!

What an amazing book!! I was laughing out loud when I read it! My son, who's two, sat througth the whole reading! He loves the illustrations!! Bill Peet is so amazing. He has such an amazing way of breathing life into his characters.

Bill Peet charms again!

If you have yet to become acquainted with Bill Peet books, you're in for a treat! His vibrantly colorful illustrations are fantastic and his stories very engaging. I remember as a child how my imagination would run and frolick around in his wonderful stories and pictures.Prewitt Peacock's story is no exception. It's a tale of a... well... a tail. Prewitt's tail is different from the other peacocks' tails, and he's subsequently an outcast. His tail isn't quite what it seems, however, and what was once his weakness becomes his greatest strength. Without being melodramatic, Bill Peet's story can teach a child that it's OK to be different - what sets you apart can make you special, too!This book comes highly recommended for all kids (and their parents)!
