Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears
Written by Verna Aardema and Illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon
A West African story about how the mosquito became a pest. It started when he told a lie to an iguana who then offends a friendly python. The python scares a rabbit until finally an owlet is killed. The lion figures out that blame rests with the mosquito who is so guilty that he remains a pest forever.
