Ever wonder what the big deal is about a little louse on your head?

Head Lice, another book is Elise Gravel's Disgusting Critters series introduces kids to a head louse in a non-threatening and humorous way. You'll learn that it is an insect, that it only lives on humans, what they do to us and how they get there. Head Lice allows kids to explore and learn about an insect that is usually not talked about and never in a positive light. Even though head lice don't benefit humans at all, this book still lets kids know not to be afraid or think that they are gross or dirty if they do have head lice.

This is a fun non-fiction book about lice is presented as a standard picture book. I really like the idea and concept. It's making kids learn while they think they are reading a story. Plus in this title, the head Louse is pretty cheeky and even offers to give you the answers to your math test if you promise to let him stay on your head.

This book is one of a series about 'Disgusting Creatures' and contains an entertaining mixture of facts about Head Lice, with a Louse character used throughout the book to make the humorous comments. It gives details about the life cycle and lifestyle of Head Lice in text and illustrations. This book will help young children develop a growing awareness of how head lice move from one person to another, reassure them that having them is not a sign of being dirty and encourage them to keep their head and hair coverings away from others!

This book could be particularly useful for use in homes and schools alike, sharing information about these creatures in a non-threatening and engaging manner.
