Everybody gets itchy, and every kid will love this title that scratches the itch to know more and about the history, anatomy, botany, biology behind it. Perfect for fans of Grossology books looking for something more substantive and dynamic.
You can feel it coming on--that terrible, tortuous ITCH. As irritating as an itch is, it is also your body's way of sending you a message you can't miss, like you've brushed up against poison ivy or lice have taken up residence in your hair. None of which you'd know without that telltale itch!
And there are so many things that make us itch--from fungus to fleas, mosquitoes to nettles, poison ivy to tarantulas!
Combining history, anatomy, laugh-out-loud illustrations, and even tips to avoid--and soothe--the itch, Anita Sanchez and Gilbert Ford take readers on an intriguing (and sometimes disgusting) look into what makes you scratch.

on the book's front cover. This is the cutest baby touch and feel
book ever! Parents and gift givers will find: the perfect book for
entertaining babies on long car rides a great book for babies when

more. Each illustration comes with a little pocket where Teddy can

cloth carrying handle on the book's spine and a Velcro tab to keep
the book closed. The book and Teddy come packaged in a clear
plastic carrying case. What parents, grandparents, and teachers are
saying: "Too cute! Would highly recommend!" "I bought this to add
to my arsenal of toddler entertainment before I flew with my then
17-month-old daughter for twenty hours. Teddy, along with his
family, got us through some portions of those flights when it felt
like time was standing still. Teddy can sit at a table and eat a
meal, brush his teeth, have a bath (with ducky) and towel off, sit
on Daddy's lap for story time, give Mama a hug and then cuddle down
in his bed with little teddy and go to sleep. The fact that Teddy
can accomplish all this while still attached to the book is a
blessing when you are in a plane or a car, so, unlike with some
other toys, you don't spend time bumping your head and scrabbling
around in the most undignified manner under seats while your
toddler makes her disapproval known in no uncertain terms." "This
book is adorable and a part of our bedtime ritual. I purchased when
my son was 6-month-old and he loves it. The book is colorful and
bright and in a good size. The story is cute, short, and you get to
move the teddy bear through each page. On each page there's a place
and an activity for Him: eat dinner, brush teeth with a detachable
toothbrush, take a bath in the tub with a detachable ducky and put
his pajamas on, reads a book on daddy lap and gets a hug from mom,
then go to bed with his own little teddy bear. The fabric is good
quality and durable, I washed it gentle and dried" "This is the
absolute cutest soft book I have ever seen. It's excellent quality
throughout and has the cleverest ways to manipulate the little bear
on every page. I can't wait to give it to my grandson Teddy to read
to his baby sister!"
