This book about peacocks does a good job at providing information and vocabulary terms that children can understand. It also has the definitions of the new vocabulary. The book describes how male peacocks are the ones with the beautiful feathers because they need to attract the female. The females are not colorful and are called peahens. It helps them blend in and survive. The book also provides information about where peacocks live and what they eat.
