      About This Book

      "In this Caldecott Medal winner, Mosquito tells a story that causes a jungle disaster. "Elegance has become the Dillons' hallmark. . . . Matching the art is Aardema's uniquely onomatopoeic text . . . An impressive showpiece."
      -Booklist, starred review.

      Winner of Caldecott Medal in 1976 and the Brooklyn Art Books for Children Award in 1977.
