Industry Reviews
PreS-Gr 4 The progression of lice infestation and treatment is told in rhyme, accompanied by Girouard's cartoons of purple-headed lice sporting multicolored T-shirts and grilling hot dogs for the family reunions as their population grows and grows. An infected girl wonders what is causing her to itch as her mother treats her head and her father launders everything in the house. It becomes a family adventure. A two-line rhyme on each page tells the story for younger readers with expanded information for older children further down on the page. Stereotypes about lice infestation are put to rest by Caffey's sensible text, a doctor's note to concerned grown-ups, and Girouard's amusing illustrations. Ann Cook, Winter Park Public Library, FL

Here's a book that library patrons hope they will never need. But if their children come home from the school or day care center with head lice, it's the book they will want. The unusually broad age range reflects the dual texts running parallel through the book. Each spread or page has a rhymed couplet in large black type and a snappy comment in large purple type, meant for reading aloud to young children. Beneath those lines is a paragraph of information suitable for reading to older children or paraphrasing for young ones. Caffey presents the basics of lice management in a clear, straightforward way.

Phelan

Okay, so reading it will make you itch, but this is still a very handy book about those unpleasant realities known as cooties or head lice. . . . Granted, the rhyming text is determinedly cutesy, but then something has to be when dealing with this timely if unappetizing topic. Girouard's cartoons help the learning process along by rendering the insects in abrasive shades of purple and green, defusing the disgust so much that kids might even start thinking cooties are cute. Caffey is clear that cleanliness is not the issue, that home remedies are not the answer, and that patience is a virtue in the battle to eradicate head lice.
