tricky idea to grasp but cute story

my 2 1/2 yr old daughter loves pat hutchins books. this was one of the few we hadnt read so we picked it up at the library. Reading it to her, she didnt quite grasp the whole idea of how things that someone says can be mistconstrued and hears another way then retold in error. I tried to explain it to her but she didnt seem to get it. I think this is something (similary to whisper down the lane) that would be totally enjoyed by a kindergarten level and up to probably 1st grade.
