So, of course, when Python says good morning, Iguana doesn't hear and Iguana ignores him altogether. Python suspects Iguana is plotting mischief against him, so he hides in a rabbit hole—which terrifies Rabbit. And so this amusing African legend goes, until finally the chain of mishaps reaches Mother Owl, who reacts by refusing to hoot and wake up the sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEventually all is resolved, and jungle life returns to normal. But although Mosquito learns her lesson and gives up telling tall tales, she adopts a worse habbit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003ca title=\"Leo and Diane Dillon's\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/135088.Leo_and_Diane_Dillon_s\"\u003eLeo and Diane Dillon's\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e striking full-color illustrations complements and enlarge upon the tale, perfectly capturing the expansive African imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of \u003ci\u003eCaldecott Medal\u003c\/i\u003e in 1976 and the \u003ci\u003eBrooklyn Art Books for Children\u003c\/i\u003e Award in 1977.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ex Libris Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43587389325539,"sku":"EXL759-2200","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5675\/7951\/products\/417787._SX318.jpg?v=1670432454","url":"https:\/\/www.exlibrismichigan.com\/products\/why-mosquitoes-buzz-in-peoples-ears-by-verna-aardema-diane-dillon-illustrator-leo-dillon-illustrator","provider":"Ex Libris Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
