Illustrated by
Tammie Lyon.
Meticulously groomed Ellie is distraught to learn she has lice, but she uses the unpleasant experience to learn about lice and share the information with her friends. Cartoon drawings capture the range of Ellie's emotions as she deals with her unwelcome visitors. Her advice letter to the "kid who just found out you have lice" sums up the facts.
