About this item

PreSchool-Grade 1—Logan wants to talk to Grandma on the telephone, but he keeps getting the wrong number. The youngster dials "Bee-bee-bee-bah-beep!" and waits expectantly. Lifting the gatefold reveals a sheep on the line. Other misdirected calls interrupt a duck painting a picture, a cow baking a cake, and a hungry crocodile bookmarking the "Logan Pie" recipe in his cookbook. Then Grandma phones her grandson and invites him to her birthday party, along with all of his newfound friends. At the celebration, she reminds everyone of proper etiquette: "no phone calls at the table, please." This slight, silly story is enlivened by onomatopoeic phrases, colorful multimedia artwork, and clever page design.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
