I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail by Ramsingh Urveti
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The folk art is fun to look at, and the book is beautifully designed. I was glad the poem was presented in its entirety at the beginning, because the breakup of the lines was a little confusing during the reading. The cutouts was an interesting graphic device for revealing the poem's 'trick'. I don't think the author should have revealed the trick until the end of the book, but then it would be even harder to read the first time through. This kind of mixing is great for imagery.
