(3) K-3 Illustrated by Theresa Smith. In this pourquoi tale, first Ear, then Arm, then Leg reject Mosquito's proposals of marriage. She gets her revenge: "At night zzzng-zzzng / I'll bite zzzng-zzzng." Even after she finds a mate (another mosquito) she keeps on buzzing and biting and so do her children. Energetic pastel and crayon illustrations of persistent Mosquito extend the humorous rhythmic text.
