Product Description

Review
Making a brave effort to pair hilarity with head lice, Moss and Durand (The Snoops, 1998) follow a tiny six-legger "no bigger than a freckle," as she (we know because she sports a pink bow) drops into a teacher's frizzy head and proceeds to sing a happy tune-"Oh . . . no one knows from where I came, / A nit, a nibbler with no name . . . "-as she deposits eggs on every hair. Soon the teacher is scratching; shortly thereafter, so is the entire class. Durand's cartoon illustrations are filled with small children and smaller insects (each with distinct personalities) going about their business with similar energy and good cheer. First the children are treated, but the plague isn't halted until children and teacher both are dosed with "special conditioner," and even then, sharp-eyed viewers may spot the tiny survivor peeking from a corner of the final spread. Parents may not find this all that amusing-but it is a painless way to bring up an unpleasant topic, and the accurate representation of how easily nits and lice spread will help children (and adults) understand the necessity of vigilance. (Picture book. 5-8) (Kirkus Reviews)

Product Description
Illustrated almost entirely from a nits' perspective, so that the pictures offer a wonderfully skewed view of both scalp and playground this entertaining story is a reminder that head lice are no respecters of size or status. Who is the culprit for the lice epidemic at school? Ages 4-7.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny pictures, cute story, 27 Jul 2007
By Borshee (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scritch Scratch (Paperback)
I love the illustration! It's a funny story about a teacher who gets lice in her class :) The pictures make you smile and there is an innocent love story folding out in the book between two teachers. Even the lice looks hilarious! Great details throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 16 Jun 2008
By Jess "Jess" (New Forest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scritch Scratch (Paperback)
One of those rare books which grown-ups enjoy too and which my three small children never tire of, me neither. Very sweet. The illustrations are bright and funny. The story gentle and funny. I'm amazed it hasn't won a prize or become really well-known. It certainly deserves both.
