Tip of the Week: A Fantastic Tale of a Tail!

I am so thankful that my mother saved my favorite childhood books for me to share with my daughter, as now she and I enjoy them together. They are stories that have withstood the test of time, and I hope someday she will share them with her children.

One of my all-time favorites is “The Spooky Tail of Prewitt Peacock” by Bill Peet. It is the story of a peacock whose tail is so scraggly, that it appears as if it is a large, green-eyed monster. Although not as beautiful as the other peacock’s tails, it serves to scare away a hungry tiger who lurks in the nearby woods, and Prewitt becomes a hero when he protects the other peacocks. This is a wonderful book appropriate for ages 2 and up!
