It's a fun little rhyming book that conveys both humor and how miserable chicken pox is. Others have only heard about it from their parents. I took a few days off work, partly for the fatigue, partly to give my face a rest from the coverings.Ī few of my students have had chicken pox and could still relate to the book. Absolutely miserable in 2021, as we're all still wearing masks. My shingles are on my face, on my left cheek. Then it erupts in an itchy, burning rash of welts and even blisters along a nerve. Once you had chicken pox as a child, the virus remains dormant along your nervous system until the time is right. Shingles is, if you're unaware, the adult version of chicken pox.

I read this to my lower elementary classes last week, as I was recovering from shingles. Someday, this book will be irrelevant, and that will be wonderful. I say math lesson because there is counting involved in this book. I would definitely use this book for rhymes, independent reading, and for incorporating it into a health, literacy, or math lesson. I can see this book helping students of this age group read better because it's full of easy, rhyming sight words. This book has been designed for parents to read to children, for children to read to parents, and for children to read to themselves.

This means it is appropriate for kindergarten and first grade students. This book is a 'Hello Reader' book, with a reading level of 1. I would use this book in a kindergarten or 1st grade classroom. In the end, his chicken pox go away and he can go back to school again. The story continues as he looks all over his body and sees these red spots. This story is about a boy that sees red spots on his face, which makes him realize he has the chicken pox. This contemporary realistic fiction book will surely have children laughing and relating along with the main character.
