No one loves insects more than Gus, not even his best friends Jake and Mustapha. So when Gus gets nits he refuses to get rid of them. But Gus meets his match in his mother. She won't let him out unless he wears a showercap (pink!) and so he has to give in! If he doesn't the other insects that live in his bedroom will die! (No one else will catch the food for them!)

'Yellow Tadpoles' are ideal for the emergent reader, with a simple story, brief chapters and supportive illustrations.
