The Jungle Grapevine

(3) K-3 In this jungle-set account of an unwitting game of Telephone, Turtle's comment ("The Watering Hole is always good for a laugh...but lately the humor has been drying up") is misinterpreted by Bird ("The Watering Hole is drying up"), and so on. Childlike pen-and-ink and watercolor double-page spreads extend beyond the bounds of their solid-line frames.
