Why Mosquitos Buzz in People's Ears

Bibliographic Information (APA): Aardema, Verna. (1975). Why Mosquitos Buzz in People's Ears. Illus. Illustrator Leo and Diane Dillon. New York, NY: Scholastic.

Brief Annotation: This is a west African folk tale that describes why Mosquitos buzz in people's ears. It's a cute story that goes through all the animals of the jungle.
Genre: PictureBook, Folktale
Grade Level: K-3rd
Readers who will like this: Children that enjoy folktales or have ever wondered why mosquitos buzz in peoples ears.
Response/Rating (1-4): 3; I really like this book and it could be so great to use in a Folktale unit to bring in diversity. This book is a great book to use for cause and effect also. It begins with a mosquito talking to an iguana and telling him a story. After that a series of events eventually causes a baby owl to die.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you know what a folktale is?
