Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester L. Laminack

The Tucker farm was perking along nicely. Occasionally a car stopped at the roadside stand, and someone bought a tomato or two, maybe a cucumber. Then one day, a crate fell off a truck, and what tumbles out but a peacock!!

The peacock starts strutting along the road, causing excitement for motorists, and soon the Tuckers are doing a booming business, selling vegetables right and left; people stop to admire the peacock, and buy veggies while they're there.

But the chickens get jealous. They think THEY are doing all the work on the farm, and the peacock is getting the credit for its success. So they dress up and go to the road.

This is a very cute little book about doing what you do best.
