"It's a great story for young readers. The children learn the consequences of telling lies and how it's important to tell the truth. When I taught third grade we did a play on this story, and the student's enjoy it very much!"
"This is a myth about the buzzing of mosquitoes. The illustrations are beautiful, and the tale was pretty clever, but I wasn't too thrilled by the way it was written. The story dragged me along instead of inviting me to the conclusion."
"Read this classic tale as a child and LOVED it. I found it equally enjoyable revisiting it today as an adult. Great illustrations combined with a wonderfully written tale about something we have all regretfully experienced so many times -- those pesky, annoying little mosquitoes continuously buzzing in our ears."
"I know this is a classic and it won the caldecott award, but I guess I don't really get it. I do like that it is a folk tale and I love the pictures, but I guess I am not as excited about the story line and I feel bad for some of the animals in the story."
