Telephone

(2) PS Illustrated by Jen Corace. A pigeon, one of an unusual assortment of birds on a telephone wire, directs a cardinal to "tell Peter: Fly home for dinner." A wacky game of telephone ensues; fortunately, Owl interprets the (humorously) long and exaggerated message correctly and points Peter in the right direction. Bright, elegant art depicts amusing details that play up the silliness of each new message iteration.
