About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-5?Although the title refers to the familiar term, this book includes all members of the peafowl family. Each chapter is headed by a question that is answered within the text, and an introductory page invites readers to search for listed words and to figure out what they mean. The succinct and well-organized presentation is enhanced by clear, full-color photographs. A section of notes for adults suggests ways to share the book most effectively with children. Unfortunately, not all of the words are written phonetically in the glossary, and some of the index entries for the photos refer to the captions rather than the pictures. Joan Kalbacken's Peacocks and Peahens (Childrens, 1994) presents more specific information about physical characteristics and behavior. Nonetheless, Peacocks is an attractive introduction to this colorful subject.?Diane Nunn, Richard E. Byrd Elementary School, Glen Rock, NJ

Review:

Kids in grades 2-3 will appreciate the fine color photos and easily-absorbed story of peacocks, which includes the basics on their habitat and habits. Close-ups from all angles present the colorful peacock and his pea hens in full glory, while accompanying details may interest many adults. -- Midwest Book Review
