This was my favorite picture book as a child and now, as an adult, it still is. I think it is incredibly difficult to write a picture book, and I view it as a true craft. What makes a good picture book in my opinion? Unique artwork, an intriguing tale, and storytelling style. This book has it all. The artwork is simple, bold, and magical, the story engages you right away, and the repetitive style of the narrative is perfect for storytime. And, of course, the last page is priceless. As far as I'm concerned, this book is essential for any children's library.

This would be a great book to use with my students to teach strong verbs.
Very unique illustrations - I even liked the python! I just felt sorry for the poor mosquito in the end...

Mosquito's nonsense causes a chain reaction that ends in disaster and causes her to ask people if everyone is still angry with her.

What a clever parable about one person's comments can trigger a chain reaction of perception.
