Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears: A West African Tale by Verna Aardema, Leo and Diane Dillon (Illustrators)

  • "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."
