Ticks Are the Worst! A Public Service Announcement by Kaine and Duds is a witty educational children’s book about ticks. Ticks are parasites that transmit pathogens that cause disease through the process of feeding, and because of this, they can be very dangerous. Kaine and Duds understand how important it is to educate children about these pesky arachnids. The book does just that, educating children about what ticks are, why they have come to be so hated, and what to do to avoid them. The authors do an excellent job of turning some boring facts into something funny, interesting, and memorable.
I utterly loved Ticks Are the Worst! From now on I only want my news to be fed to me through public service announcements from Kaine and Duds. This is a children’s book but contains enough humor and jokes for adults to enjoy as well. I appreciated some of the clever puns incorporated into the very important public service announcement. The illustrations are minimal but beautifully done, and emphasize the message that ticks are the worst. I’m no fan of arachnids and I agree wholeheartedly with the theme, as I’m aware of the dangers they can pose to us humans and our furry friends, especially dogs and cats. This is a magnificent example of an amusing and easy-to-read educational guide that children and adults alike will love and hopefully keep in the back of their minds whenever they go trekking into nature.
