Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears was written by Verna Aardema and illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon. This book was published by First Pied Piper Publishing in 1978 and reissued in 2001. The theme of this story is be careful what you say to others, because it may come back to you with bad consequences. The main character of this story is a mosquito, who tells a lie to the iguana. When the iguana gets annoyed, he sets off a chain reaction that ends with the death of an owlet. The consequences come back to the mosquito, who in fear of being judged in the wrong hides; thus the constant buzzing in the ears of people. What they believe the mosquito to be doing is asking if the other animals are still angry with it. This is a good book for teaching children about morals.
