Scritch Scratch

Description

One day a tiny insect, no bigger than a freckle, climbs into Miss Calypso's classroom. Nobody notices until... Polly scritches, Joshua scratches and soon the whole class is scritching and scratching.
Children's Picture Book

Reviews

It won't help you get rid of the little critters, but at least it will make you laugh as you scratch. A really jolly gift for all those children and parents (and grandparents) who get uptight about nits. -- The Guardian
