Carmen's Sticky Scab

By Ginger Churchill

Kids love to laugh--and to get a little grossed out. And every kid has been bothered by a scab that just seems like it is never going to go away. That's the situation of Carmen, who is just dying to pick her scab, but is warned about the dire consequences of doing so, from infection to sharks. Kids will giggle and gasp at this hilarious tale. Lively illustrations by Barry Gott add color and humor to the text.

One that can be enjoyed over and over. Carmen's Sticky Scab is MUST for your library! Thumbs up on this great book! Let's hope it's the first of many from this wonderful new author!

very cute

This was so cute and funny - any kid would love this story and read it over and over. The kind of ending that will have any kid (or adult) laughing out loud. Anyone with children in the family should pick this book up

None Better

Scabs, sharks, bossy grown-ups, and a boy named Andy who apparently doesn't eat enough . . . I would never have expected to love a book about scabs. But the humor won me over. My kids love this book and my 1st-grader wants to read it to me at least once every single day. For every kid who's ever had a scab and the grown-ups who love them--buy this book and prepare to laugh!

Laughing out Loud

I am a 5th/6th grade teacher and counseling/psychologist. The students I work with LOVE this book. The humor that Ginger uses makes kids laugh out loud. Everyone loves the ending! Carmen's Sticky Scab is easy to read aloud to children of all ages. The pictures make the great story line come alive for the reader. Many of the students in my class want to read this multiple times. It has been a great addition to my classroom library. It is also a great picture book to use in teaching the Six Traits of writing focusing on the trait of "voice".

Fabulous Read Aloud!

I absolutely love this book! It is a great book to read aloud. There is a great "voice" to the book with lots of opportunity for emotion. This book is a new favorite of my son. The premise is a little gross, scabs, and maybe that is what lures boys in, or maybe it's my face as we read the ending! The artwork is great with lots of background to notice and point out. We give it two thumbs up if you want to laugh aloud!
