My kids and I love this book. It takes a potentially embarassing subject from lots of blushing, mumbling, and eyerolling, to something funny and open and natural. It's a good way to answer those first questions about the "birds and bees" without getting all clinical and serious. I first gave it ...

+ Fantastic Read/ Great learning Tool
This book should be on every students school supply list. When our daughter came home from school with lice I was as horrified as she was. This book explains these naughty little creatures at a level we all can understand. Makes for enlightening reading on such an unenlightening subject.
