There is a Romanian folktale, Noah and the Devil by Neil Philip, which in part
is a just-so story explaining fleas; it has great pictures.
Also, a David story about how a spider saves his life when he is in a cave
hiding from King Saul
and another in which a mosquito saves him from Abner.
You can click on the links for the stories;
but I don't know of any picture books with them,
although I seem to remember reading them in books.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Childrens book on nature and Judaism
Hello!
One of our early childhood educators is teaching a class onnature and Judaism
for
kindergarteners and 1st graders. The topic: Why did God make
mosquitoes? She has a short story which she can retell in an age
appropriate way, but I was wondering if there might be a children's book on the
subject.
There are a number of books about Tu b’Shevat and
trees etc. but anything like the mosquitos/insects?
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Arlene
