Synopsis

Is something bugging you? Bestselling award-winner David Shannon shows the funny side of waging war against--oh no!--head lice.This story is guaranteed to make you laugh--and itch! From the opening moment when a happy, oversized louse appears with his suitcases, you know these bugs are determined to stay, and Mom is about to go nuts! Nobody talks about them, but they are everywhere. (Some estimate 20 million children a year host them.) Oh the shame and humiliation of having bugs in your hair! But if you go to school, or have play dates, chances are good you might meet them someday. Maybe you already have! Lucky for you, the unwelcome bugs in this story are so funny you will be laughing aloud--even when Mom attacks them with battle-tested anti-lice weapons.Shannon peppers his hilarious scenes with fun, "nitpicking" facts about these "lousy" critters and pokes fun at common denial: "It's probably ash from that volcano in Pogo Pogo."Soon the party's over--Bye bye, Little Nasties!

Goodreads review by Beth on July 07, 2013

I'm not gonna lie. I expected this book to be a train wreck. I should have known better coming from David Shannon, but you know, a book about head lice? How is that supposed to be entertaining? But somehow, Shannon makes this book both entertaining and informative. A good book to give to parents and......more
