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

4.0

Why do mosquitos buzz in people's ears? Through this traditional West African tale, Verna Aardema shows us the real reason mosquitoes buzz in people's ears. This beautifully illustrated piece of traditional literature would be a great way to expose students to stories that have been passed down for many generations in a culture that is different from their own. I loved this book, especially the ending.
