Description

A mother bird tries to deliver a simple message to little Peter—but in a world where communication travels from beak to beak, every “listener” hears it through the lens of their own quirks. As the message passes along a telephone line of birds with wildly different hobbies, the words shift, twist, and grow stranger, turning a straightforward errand into a playful chain of misunderstandings. With bright, rhythmic storytelling and Mac Barnett’s signature wit, this picture book explores how perspective shapes meaning and how connection can be both messy and magical. Perfect for read-alouds, it’s a warm, humorous reminder that getting the message right often takes patience, empathy, and a little imagination.
