ReviewsOkay, so reading it will make you itch, but this is still a very handy book about those unpleasant realities known as cooties or head lice., Here's a book that library patrons hope they will never need. But if their children come home from the school or day care center with head lice, it's the book they will want. . . . Caffey presents the basics of lice management in a clear, straightforward way. . . . A good read-aloud choice for homes and classrooms when lice are abroad., The life history and day-to-day activities of lice are detailed via accurate and well-presented information. The book is colorfully illustrated with attractive cartoons on each page. I recommend this volume highly for elementary school students and their parents., Stereotypes about lice infestation are put to rest by Caffey's sensible text, a doctor's note to concerned grown-ups, and Girouard's amusing illustrations.

SynopsisHere's a light way to talk to children about that old nuisance head lice. Rhyming verses describe how one little girl gets head lice and how she and her parents get rid of them. Kids will enjoy the rollicking cartoon "cooties" playing hide-and-seek and having a party in the girl's hair until they are sent packing. Notes on each page provide detailed, factual information about head lice.
