What's Bugging Nurse Penny?: A Story About Lice

32 pp. | Whitman | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-8803-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Suzanne Beaky. School nurse Penny's three "oh-so-smart students" notice she is not her optimistic, confident self. Their faith in her inspires Penny to hold a school assembly about head lice, at which she shares an awkward secret. While the message about lice infestations is a bit heavy-handed, the bright illustrations and touches of humor convey an upbeat tone. Lice facts are appended.
