"If a Mosquito Bites You" is a diversion that, based on a small everyday mishap, invites pre-readers and early readers to try an atypical remedy for the discomfort of a 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 routine and experiencing new sensations.

The dosage is completed with some nice illustrations of simple, linear and circular lines. These basic and deliberately imperfect structures are seasoned with flat and cheerful colors, enhancing the expressiveness of the story.
