(3) K-3 Disgusting Critters series. On the covers of these entertaining, informative volumes, readers are greeted by a smiling spider ("Howdy!") or louse ("Hey there!"). The texts go on to provide both accurate information ("The head louse is...about the size of a sesame seed") and humorous commentary. Cartoon illustrations and speech-bubble asides--"I might be small, but to your parents I'm scarier than a lion"--enhance the kid-friendliness. Review covers these Disgusting Critters titles: Head Lice and The Spider.
