A lesson in peaceful co-existence unfolds on the Kansas prairie.
Kiki has a simple and perfect plan for claiming his meadow and living happily ever after. But no sooner does he rid his field of the upstart Pekeat than another voice intrudes on his territory. "Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" And so begins Kiki’s rivalry with the mechanical inhabitant of an old German clock - a rivalry that threatens Kiki’s fondest dreams. The story of how Kiki reclaims his meadow and his belief in himself teaches lessons about the nature of competition and the importance of choosing our contests with care.

• Explore with students the positive and negative aspects of competition
