Review Detail

What I Liked: The illustrations are so bright and colorful which is a style that is appealing. In the story, the Peacocks grow unhappy with eating their birdseed and go to great lengths to sneak into a school to get to try mac and cheese. The scenario is cute and fun. I read this with my daughter and when I asked for her reaction, she had deep thoughts regarding the plot. She identified with the birds and their need to try something new because it looked good and everyone else is doing it, but in the end, after trying things herself she realizes that what she already had or was already doing was better. She came away with the message that just because it is new does not mean it is always better than what you already have.
