Publisher Description
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!Download and start listening now!
“The book imparts quite a bit of information while revealing the humiliation, embarrassment, frustration, and downright itchiness of these little nasties…Libraries everywhere should have this book, as this perennial problem crops up in just about every community.”
— School Library Journal
