内容简介
In this astonishingly beautiful and imaginatively illustrated picture book, Mosquito tells Iguana a tall tale that sets off a chain reaction that ends in jungle disaster. Iguana is so upset at being told such nonsense that he plugs his ears. So, of course, when Python says good morning, Iguana doesn’t hear and 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 in the sun. Eventually 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 habit. Leo and Diane Dillon’s striking full-color illustrations complement and enlarge upon the tale, perfectly capturing the expansive African imagination.

 一天，蚊子向鬣蜥吹了个小牛皮，滚雪球般连番放大之后，竟引起一场惊天动地的大灾难。狮王抽丝剥茧，几经周折，终于破了这桩奇案……这是一则来自非洲的民间故事，情节波澜起伏，紧紧扣住孩子的心弦；书中绘图具有剪纸风格，色彩明丽，细腻传神，带给孩子不一般的艺术享受。
