The Peacock and the Mermaid
|
| |
This book will appeal to readers between six and ten and as a picture-book for younger children. Its gentle rhythm lends itself perfectly to being read aloud.
The opening verse:
Long ago when the world was new
Peacock's feathers weren't green and blue.
He didn't wear a dazzling gown,
Back then he was, quite simply, brown.
Peacock found it most unpleasant
To be mistaken for a pheasant.
'I want above all else a robe
To make me famous round the globe
In shades of ocean blue and green
And all the colours in between.' |
