Peter and the Pigeons
Little Peter is fascinated by pigeons–the sounds of their cooing and their flapping wings, the feel of their pecking beaks, the soft colors of their feathers. His father, not unreasonably, believes that Peter will enjoy exotic animals even more. But after visiting zebras, polar bears, hippos, and other denizens of the city zoo, the youngster concludes that pigeons are still his favorites, precisely because of their familiarity.
Rating:
A nice reminder that kids see more innocence in the world.
