New book: I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail

A new book that caught our eye is I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail (J 821.92 URVETI). It is a wonderfully illustrated book with just one poem, "I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail," within it. The poem has been around since the 17th century and no one knows who the author was, adding to its mystery. The poem itself is a form of "trick verse," which means that depending on how each line of the poem is read, it can have very different meanings!  Beyond the imaginative poem's words, the book itself is illustrated in a very interesting way that complements the poem very well.  The video below, made by the book's publisher Tara Books, explains how the poem and illustrations work together to make such an unusual and awesome reading experience:
