Why do bugs and plants and other stuff make us itch? Because they are trying to protect themselves or we just happen to be allergic to them. It's a quick read with some great text features about how to treat your itchy self. Although just typing it now is making me itchy--I don't know how the author managed to write the book without soaking in an oatmeal bath. The book is illustrated by Gilbert Ford, with some realistic illustrations but a lot of interpretation of the bugs and animals discussed, turning them into cowboys or fancy ladies who just happen to be mosquitoes. Definitely a bit of a whimsical exploration in pictures, though the text is straightforward non-fiction.
