Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester Laminack (author) (US edition)

The arrival of a proud peacock ruffles three hard-working hens’ feathers, but is prancing and parading as easy as it seems? When this beautiful peacock shows up on the Tuckers’ farm, the glamorous visitor gets all the attention, much to the irritation of the hard-working hens. To keep the peace, the wise old hound dog suggests a swap. The hens and the peacock soon find out that each other’s jobs aren’t always as easy as they seem. What will happen when three gussied-up hens spend the day flouncing and frolicking around passing cars? And will that peacock ever figure out how to lay an egg? There’s bundles of feather-filled thrills in this fantastically funny battle of the birds. Who will come out on top?
