Mosquito

Mosquito is pestering the animals in the forest with her loud buzzes. In response, they all voice their unique replies, using a fun mix of word play, including rhyme, alliteration, and onomatopoeia. But as Cat yowls, "Oh, rats," and Doe sighs, "Dear me," Mosquito simply moves on to annoy someone else . . . until she meets Bat. An informational note in the back of the book lists what makes mosquitoes pests in the first place, where they're found, and how to avoid them.Virginia Kroll is a prolific children's author whose work has received numerous awards.
