Bugs in My Hair

This book will make you laugh as David Shannon shows the funny side of the war on head lice. This book will help open lines of communication with children and parents. It shows that lice don't discriminate, they will lay eggs in anybody's hair.

It teaches kids about the facts of lice. Even though the book looks like entertainment, it is very close to the truth.

Dedicated to "all the moms everywhere and their battle-tested anti-lice weapons".

Zany, fun, over-the-top, and pure David Shannon.

I imagine it will fly off the shelves when the school nurses aren't hoarding it!

I think this book is amazing! I think the illistrations do a really great job of showing lice in a non discusting way. I think this is a great resource for explaining to children what lice are so it isn't a scary situation.

I like this story because it is a fun way for the students to learn about and how to prevent head lice. One aspect of the story that I liked was the animations that the head lice did. For example, on the page with "LICE-A-PALOOZA" the lice were playing country like instruments and dancing like they

were having a party on the person's head. Another aspect that I liked was that the author included facts about how to prevent from getting head lice. One thing that I learned from this book was that you could put mayonnaise on your head to cure lice. Before this story I had no idea that you could do that.

This is a very interesting book about having head bugs. It brings up a topic that many people don't want to talk about and brings humor to it. I think this would be a good book to read to students to remind them that this sort of thing happens to everyone.

Lice are unfortunately something most kids end up getting and getting rid of them is not easy. I lived in the tropics when I had lice. My moms cure was a perm. Most of the boys in my class got crew cuts. This funny book looks at one kid, his lice problem, what was done, etc. I love how it explains

terms, and even where some modern slang comes from. If lice is a thing in your school, then this book is a must have.
