Yikes--Lice!

24 pp. | Whitman | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-9374-5
(3) K-3 A young girl narrates in breezy rhyme how a louse searched for a new home, found one on the girl's head, and was soon discovered and evicted. A subtext provides information about lice, their life cycle, and cures for infestation. The light tone, cartoonlike illustrations, and straight facts combine to help readers deal with lice, and a doctor's foreword reassures grossed-out grownups.
