Description: What's that buzzing by? It's Mia the mosquito, and she's about to take readers along on the mosquito metamorphosis from egg to a full-grown flyer.

This book introduces readers to the concept of life cycles and ecosystems through engaging, age-appropriate text. Even the most reluctant readers will be hooked by the brilliant images, funny tricks, and easy-to-read diagram. Mia's story of growth and transformation invites readers to deepen their understanding of life science topics while learning fun facts about this pesky pest.--
