Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears


Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears by Verna Aardema pictures by Leo and Diane Dillon

The tale of a chain reaction of a mosquito's buzzing.

Mom's Review: Not one of my favorite books. It's one of those chain reaction things that you hope will have a really cool conclusion. Except it doesn't. And an owlet is killed by a falling monkey. (Skipped that sentence while reading, but the child still picked up on it.)Avoid this book. In my opinion, you don't want a children's book to have dead baby animals in it. Despite the Caldecott Medal, the artwork didn't do much for me.

Daughter's Review: I liked it because I like animals.
