(3) K-3 Illustrated by Delphine Durand. When a head louse nests in Ms. Calypso's cascading curls, soon she and her entire class are scratching away. Unfortunately, Ms. Calypso (who lives alone) is the only one who can't shampoo the lice properly from her hair until amorous Principal Trout helps her do so. The quirky characters in Durand's sophisticatedly colored cartoon illustrations are a good match for Moss's humorous text.
