Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears: A West African Tale by Verna Aardema

4.0

A funny origin story. There is good use of repetition in this story which is very good for memory. This is evident to me because I remember the words to this tale almost word-for-word from kindergarten. The illustrations were really nothing special. I actually didn't like the style or color scheme all that much, but the story is a good one. Animal rights activists will HATE the final panel, but it made me chuckle.
