When I was asked to review David Shannon’s new book, Bugs in my Hair, I said yes…of course! Who can resist his books?? But then when I got the book I was a little apprehensive because the topic it’s about can be a little touchy…a little itchy to be precise. But you know what? It is a subject we deal with in school and anything we can do as teachers to make it a little less scary and embarrassing, then I’m all for it.
I read the book and my kids loved it, they thought it was hilarious. It also opened a discussion with text to self connections and allowed us to talk a little about hygiene. I even shared about how I had lice once when I was a kid and then again as an adult! They were shocked, I mean, Ms White had lice??? …the absolute horror!
If you want to open up the discussion and have a fun page to do with your own kids, then look no further! My students brainstormed things the would not want in their hair!
