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!
Taking a humorous approach to an embarrassing problem, this book turns the (literally) nitty-gritty into something witty. . . . Moss and Durand win high marks for their potent combination of comedy and candor.
