Oink-A-Doodle-Moo

This is an adorable picture book for toddlers as well as lower school aged children. It is a barnyard game of telephone that goes hilariously wrong. This is a great read-aloud with fabulous cartoon illustrations! The story starts in a barnyard where a pig whispers into a rooster's ear and starts a game of 'telephone'. As you can imagine once all the animals get involved the "pass it on" becomes hilariously funny. This is a story that you will guarantee to read over and over again.
