Book Reviews of Yikes-Lice!
Book Review: Perhaps the Right Choice for Younger Children - a review of "Yikes-Lice!"
Summary: 3 Stars
This book covers the basic material about lice - size, means of transmission, what's needed to get rid of them - in a fashion suitable for even very young children. One of the ways it does this is by using drawings instead of photographs. Photos tending to be scarier for the really young as lice are sort of monstrous when greatly magnified.
The other thing that the author does is to provide two different textual approaches to the information. The first is normal prose, and the second is a rhyme. For really young children I think I would talk about what the pictures showed, and use only the rhyme on repeat readings.
Three Stars [C+]. Cute, colorful and non-threatening, this book covers the basics but wouldn't be a great resource for an "advanced" book report on the topic of lice.
The Accelerated Reading designation/ATOS is 4.3 for this book.
