Solomon Iguanre

This is a storybook for children which tells the story of how mosquitoes came to biting man. The story is a fable told from a Christian-centred perspective and focuses on the animal community, which in this case includes man. From a teaching angle, the story addresses reading comprehension, a sense of community, respect for fellow human beings and animals, as well as the causes of malaria and how to prevent it. At the end of each chapter the book includes questions and comprehension exercises. Though the fable is written from a Nigerian perspective for a Nigerian audience, according to the publishers, it could be adapted for an international audience as well.
