The peahen is Pavlova and their three peachicks are Little Prince, Solomon and Sweet Pea. A strange cat frightens the peachicks but Prince is too busy trying to get attention to help guard his family. When he has to be rescued from the rooftop of a nearby house, he causes quite a stir. Children alone in the house provide a good example for what to do when a stranger comes to the door. have extra fun exploring the illustrations to find cats and words cleverly hidden in the artwork.
