Four stories, all featuring Pelly the Pelican and Peak the Peacock, are contained in this book. In “Two Surprises,” the two friends play a guessing game while “Tick Tock” tells about Pelly’s efforts to make a cuckoo clock as a gift for Peak’s birthday. In “Baking Day,” Peak decides to make an upside-down cake and in “A Fish Story,” Pelly and Peak each discover that they are good at something special.

Young readers will enjoy the antics of the peacock and the pelican and are certain to appreciate the friendship between the two birds. Older readers will find they can read the stories independently.

This “I Can Read” book, edited for Weekly Reader Books, was originally published under the title “Pelly and Peak.”

Recommended.

There are multiple reasons why I enjoyed this book. First the characters were very believable and relatable. Many children feel that they have to be like others and act tough in front of others by pretending they don't like things that they actually do. So inn this story, Ben did just that and pretended he did not like Valentine's Day and didn't want any valentine's from anyone, but he didn't really mean it. On Valentine's Day he did not receive any Valentines. The next year be made sure that wouldn't happen and filled his box with Valentines. When he realizes a new student didn't get any Valentines, he gave him all of his! This is believable because children do things like this all the time to make someone else feel better. The writing was engaging, and organized. It was engaging because it is relatable! It was organized because it made sense in the order it went. The message was that if you do good, you will receive good. Good karma, it works in mysterious ways. When Ben decided to give all of his Valentines to Henry, Henry realized he had two of every Valentine and suspected Ben must've given him them. Ben asked how many Henry got and he said 40, and that is when Ben realized he got real Valentines, not just the ones he faked! He was so surprised and happy that his peers gave him them.… (mais)
