Description
En este increiblemente hermoso libro, ilustrado con gran imaginación, Mosquito le cuenta a Iguana un cuento insólito que provoca una reacción en cadena con resultados desastrosos para la selva. Iguana se molesta tanto por el cuento que se tapa los oídos. Entonces cuando Pitón le da los buenos días, Iguana no lo oye y lo ignora completamente. Pitón, sospechando que Iguana trama algo malo contra él, se esconde en una madriguera de conejos, lo cual terroriza a Conejo. Y así se desarrolla esta divertida leyenda africana hasta que, por último, la cadena de contratiempos llega a Mamá Lechuza, quien reacciona negándose a despertar al sol. Finalmente, todo se resuelve y la vida de la selva retorna a la normalidad. Pero aunque Mosquito escarmienta y deja de contar habladurías, adopta una costumbre todavía peor.
Description
A retelling of a traditional West African tale that reveals how the mosquito developed its annoying habit. A mosquito annoyed the iguana, who frightened the python, who scared the rabbit, and now the whole jungle is in an uproar because the sun won't rise. The animals discuss the situation and decide to punish the mosquito. Even today whenever we hear a mosquito buzz, we smack it hard!Leo and Diane Dillon won the 1976 Caldecott Medal for Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears, making Leo Dillon the first African-American artist to be so honored. Now this classic, which has delighted millions of children, is at last available in Spanish.
