Yikes-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....Each spread or page has a rhymed couplet in large black type and a snappy comment in large purple type, meant for reading aloud to young children. Beneath those lines is a paragraph of information suitable for reading to older children or paraphrasing for young ones. 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." "Okay, 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. The primary rhyming text shows how the little buggers travel to a young girl's hair and how her mother discovers and treats them; the secondary text gives factual information. Granted, the rhyming text is determinedly cutesy, but then something has to be when dealing with this timely if unappetizing topic."Caffey, Don is the author of 'Yikes-Lice!', published 2002 under ISBN 9780807593752 and ISBN 0807593753.
