Summary: "The Peacock 'At Home:'" by Catherine Ann Turner Dorset is a whimsical poem written in the early 19th century. Serving as a sequel to "The Butterfly's Ball," this book fits into the genre of children's literature, employing a playful narrative to explore the social dynamics of different birds. It encompasses themes of elegance, celebration, and the importance of social gatherings among the avian community. The story revolves around the Peacock, who is incensed that other creatures, like butterflies and crickets, are gathering without inviting the birds to participate in their festivities.

As the guests arrive, they engage in playful antics, dancing, and enjoying a lavish banquet filled with various delicacies. The poem not only entertains with its charming depiction of avian life but also subtly mirrors societal norms and behaviors through the lens of its animal characters, demonstrating themes of vanity, competition, and social hierarchy.
