"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.

Excerpts and/or reprints included in [b:Once Upon a Time 23472178 Once Upon a Time (Childcraft The How and Why Library 1988, #1) Childcraft International https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1414555401l/23472178.SX50.jpg 43066910].We read this one today to follow up after reading the version by Verna Aardema illustrated by Jan Brett included in Childcraft #1 Once Upon A Time (1988). We enjoyed discussing the emotions portrayed in the Dillon illustrations but all agreed we like the Jan Brett images and creatures more. I would love to have hers as a stand-alone book version. This book is on many lists, but I bought it from Memoria Press' recommendation.
