If a Mosquito Bites You

If a mosquito bites you and you don’t want to scratch,
I know a remedy that can help you.
Hop three times,
shout as loud as you can and make rude faces.

If a Mosquito Bites You is a funny story that, based on a small everyday mishap, invites pre-readers and early readers to try an atypical remedy for the discomfort of a mosquito bite. Jumping, making faces, playing and sharing good moments in pleasant company are some of the proven recommendations of Jordi Gastó and Christian Inaraja. There is no ointment or formula more effective than this rhymed text that invokes fantasy and imagination, friendship and interaction with other people, breaking the routine and experiencing new sensations.
