Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears

In this Caldecott Medal winning book, Mosquito tells a story that causes a jungle disaster.

In this astonishingly beautiful and imaginatively illustrated picture book, Mosquito dells Iguana a tall tale that sets off a chain reaction that ends in jungle disaster.

Iguana is so upset at being told such nonsense that he plugs his ears. So, of course, when Python says good morning, Iguana doesn't hear and Iguana ignores him altogether. Python suspects Iguana is plotting mischief against him, so he hides in a rabbit hole—which terrifies Rabbit. And so this amusing African legend goes, until finally the chain of mishaps reaches Mother Owl, who reacts by refusing to hoot and wake up the sun.

Eventually all is resolved, and jungle life returns to normal. But although Mosquito learns her lesson and gives up telling tall tales, she adopts a worse habbit.

Leo and Diane Dillon's striking full-color illustrations complements and enlarge upon the tale, perfectly capturing the expansive African imagination.

Winner of Caldecott Medal in 1976 and the Brooklyn Art Books for Children Award in 1977.
