Paul and the Mosquitos

30 July 2021 by Vincent Racaniello

From the authors of Paul Has Measles and Paul Stays Home comes Paul and the Mosquitos, an illustrated book for children about mosquito-borne diseases.

In his camp, Paul and his friends discuss which is the most dangerous animal of all. They would never have imagined it would be the mosquito. Why are they dangerous and what can we do to prevent the diseases transmitted by them?

Paul and the Mosquitoes is written by Susana López, Selene Zárate, and Martha Yocupicio, with illustrations by Eva Lobatón.

A pdf of Paul and the Mosquitos can be downloaded free of charge here.
