Mr. Mosquito Put on His Tuxedo

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ponder Goembel. Morrow's text buzzes along in bouncy rhyme as tuxedo-clad Mr. Mosquito arrives at the insect ball, joins in the dancing, then helps save the day after a bear threatens the festivities. The story's wit is amplified by Goembel's ink and acrylic wash pictures starring festively costumed insects that are fairly anatomically accurate without being repugnant to the bug-phobic.
