Louie, The Hardheaded Louse
A clever, funny and lively board book with flaps, turning the stuff of parental nightmares into a delightful shared reading experience
It's the story of a little louse with a big idea in mind: to find his perfect home! From head to head he leaps, he persists… but each time, what a surprise: the spot is already taken.
Under a woolly hat? Two caterpillars! In some curly locks? Snails! In a wild and unruly mane? An octopus. Under a gorgeous blonde wig? Two parrots…
On every page, little readers lift a flap and discover a new hidden inhabitant. Humour, repetition and surprise keep this search for the perfect home ticking along.
