Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears: A West African Tale Paperback - 1992
by Verna Aardema; Leo Dillon (Illustrator); Diane Dillon (Illustrator)
A Caldecott Medal winner, this retelling of a traditional West African tale reveals how the mosquito developed its annoying habit.
Summary
"In this Caldecott Medal winner, Mosquito tells a story that causes a jungle disaster. "Elegance has become the Dillons' hallmark. . . . Matching the art is Aardema's uniquely onomatopoeic text . . . An impressive showpiece."
