Chronicle Supposing Books Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears

The artwork here is fantastic. To me, it is something new from what I have been reading in the Caldecott genre. There are these large colorful patterns inside shapes that make up the jungle and the animals. This fable is about why mosquitoes buzz in people’s ears (like the title says) and it is caused by a chain of events that go on and on until a branch breaks and an owlet dies. The mother owl hoots up the sun and because she is sad, she will not call up the sun and they are in darkness. It also becomes like ‘there was an old woman who swallowed a fly’ in that each verse gets added as the story goes along. Mosquitoes buzz in people’s ears whining to ask if they are still in trouble, according to the myth. I thought it was a cute story and the artwork is something to checkout. It really is lovely. Both kids thought this was a fun story. At the end we were saying the rhyme together. They enjoyed the artwork also. The nephew liked the big python and he gave this 4 stars. The niece was very sad at the owlet dying. Nothing seemed to be done for the family, just blame given. She gave this story 4 stars as well.

1976 Caldecott MedalThis folk tale is written in a cumulative or a chain format, similar to other popular children's books such as: Their Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, This is the House that Jack Built, and The Napping House. I think it could open up some great discussion on the effects our behavior can have on those around us, being honest, and taking time to communicate. I only wish the illustrations were done better. They fit the story, but they just didn't feel engaging enough.

Why Mosquitoes Buzz in Peoples Ears is for me a very confusing yet interesting folktale. It all starts when Mosquito was telling Iguana such a big lie that he placed two sticks in his ears not wanting to hear more of it. Iguana passed by a python, still with the two sticks on his ears. The python greeted the Iguana not knowing about the issue and when he saw that the Iguana didnt respond, he began to find a place to hide. The first place to hide he saw was the rabbit's hole. The rabbit got
