Author Barb Morrow will be at Kids Ink on June 4th from 1-2pm.
Looking to engage young children in summertime reading – with some “bug” fun in the mix? Mr. Mosquito Put on His Tuxedo, a spirited read-aloud about a dapper mosquito who joins his elegantly attired six-legged friends at the insect ball, has just been re-released in hardback and . . . now it’s also available in paperback, as a coloring book and as an audiobook. When first published in 2009, reviewers applauded Mr. Mosquito for its clever rhymes (Booklist), jaunty beat (Kirkus Reviews), and – what The Horn Book called – “shivery fun.” Parents and kids have long enjoyed Mr. Mosquito’s gallant use of his talent. Now a new generation of children can be introduced to this utterly charming and cool-headed “pest.”
