Goodreads Synopsis:
Hilarious illustrated nonfiction about mosquitos perfect for beginning readers. Conversational text and silly illustrations will have you up all night reading about the most annoying bug on Earth!
Fast mosquito facts:- Distinctive trait: Leaving annoying itchy bites- Diet: Your blood (and nectar and plant juice)- Special talent: Making a terrible whining sound in your ear
The Mosquito covers habitat (mosquitos live everywhere except Antarctica and Iceland!), species (over 3,500!), history (the oldest recorded mosquito was 79 million years ago!) and much more. Although silly and off-the-wall, The Mosquito contains factual information that will both amuse and teach at the same time.
Review:
I have read a few books from this series and I really love them... even if I am still not a fan of many of the subjects. These books are SO informational about the disgusting critters we encounter.
This installment focused on the annoying, itchy mosquito. Do I feel like I love them now, NO! but I learned a lot from reading this children's book.
This series is educational in a charming and quirky way and I really like that. Young readers will learn so much from the books information but also get a good laugh at some of the illustrations of the mosquito and her habits.
Love this series and HIGHLY recommend it for parents and kids that love to learn about critters and creatures, especially icky ones.
