Ahhhh...

The pictures are outdated. How do you expect a child born in 2016 to recognize that contraption as a phone. The story is OK.

I like this book because it teaches children (and adults) that we need to listen carefully and speak clearly when conversing with others, otherwise our message gets all screwed up! I love the pictures, all done with paper and scissors!
