Literacy Hour becomes Niteracy Hour in this hilarious tale of a head-louse who joins in the classroom action
JOHN DOUGHERTY lives in Gloucestershire. A supply teacher with plenty of experience of classroom activities in primary education, he is also a singer-songwriter with one CD already available - and has appeared on TV when his living room was designed in a Gothic style by Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen. In 2004, he also ran the London Marathon to raise funds for a charity to help children in care.
Witty repartee and extraordinary adventures . . . Dougherty has
created an appealing combination of imagination, gross-out factor,
classroom drama and humour. The illustrations are a perfect
accompaniment of simplicity and silliness. Young confident readers
will be delighted by this very "lousy" adventure and eager for a
future sequel

A book which could acquire cult status
*The School Librarian*
This book is unique . . . Its appealing layout, large text and its
simple yet effective black and white illustrations work very well.
It's a great example of the quirky humour that younger readers
enjoy

A delightfully offbeat view of school life
