This is a Caldecott Award Winning book that's about an old African legend about why the mosquito buzzes in people's ears. It's cute and funny and it delivers a message that we should all admit to what we do or we will have to face the consequences.

I feel like this book could be a good book to be read for pleasure, or to be read to a class. I think it would better be received by a second or third grade class rather than by a younger group of students. With the use of a Smart Board this would be a good after lunch time story book for all the children to share. I usally take a bag with a few books to the various schools that I go to and this is one that i would more than likely take with me again to a second or third grade classroom.
