Why Mosquitos Buzz in People's Ears
Description
"This African pourquoi tale begins when Mosquito tells his friend Iguana an outlandish story. Deciding that he doesn't want to hear such foolishness, Iguana put two sticks into his ears. When Python encounters Iguana, who totally ignores him, a chain of events erupts that results in Monkey inadvertently killing an owlet. All the animals determine that it is Mosquito that is ultimately to blame, which explains why he continually whines in people's ears, "Zeee! Is everyone still angry at me?" Full-color illustrations complement the story while capturing the nuance of each African animal."
