In this beautifully illustrated picture book, Mosquito tells Iguana a tall tale that sets off a chain reaction ending 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 the chain of mishaps is resolved. But although Mosquito learns her lesson and gives up telling tall tales, she adopts a worse habit.
