Mrs. Keogh recommends Flora and the Peacocks by Molly Idle
In this wordless picture book a small girl named Flora (see previous books by Molly Idle:
Flora and the Penguin and
Flora and the Flamingo) attempts to win the affections of two beautiful peacocks. She gestures hopefully with her fan and one of them seems to respond, while the other stays aloof. Then they both turn nasty and tear her fan as she runs away to cry. The peacocks regret their meanness and in a wonderful full page fold-out they become friends with Flora. This charming story shows that the dance of friendship wins out in the end.
