Telephone
Telephone by Mac Barnett is a 2014 Society & Culture book written by TED speaker MacBarnett, paired here with the talk they gave.
A mother bird gives the bird next to her a message for little Peter. But passing messages on a telephone line isn't as simple as it sounds. Each subsequent bird understands Mama's message according to its own very particular hobbies. Will Peter ever get home for dinner?
