Telephone by Mac Barnett illustrated by Jen Corace

Birds are sitting on a telephone wire.  Mama pigeon asks the bird next to her to tell her son Peter to come home for dinner.  Bird passes message to the next bird and so on.  The message changes with each passing.  Will the owl maintain his reputation of being wise and intelligent?

Funny! 

Illustrations are adorable and include human children playing below and racing home for dinner.
