Reviews

[Bear of MoonBear · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good except no school I know of sends you home/allows you to stay home for headlice treatment

[Lynn Davidson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a rather “eewy!” book about head lice. They are described as friends, but are shown as something to avoid. The reader gets to learn the nuisance of them, what they do and don’t do, and ways to get rid of them. Amusing illustrations.
