"As new cases of tick-borne disease such as Lyme disease continue to rise in Canada and around the world, this timely new resource for parents, teachers and children’s leaders provides a well-illustrated, relatable story which is both fun to read and teaches an important lesson!  Deb Crunican creatively reinforces the importance of tick-awareness and adding proactive tick-checks to a child’s everyday routine.  Tick bite prevention is key – whether at home, daycare, playground, school, or camp.  Every pre-school, middle-school classroom and household with young children needs this book!"

"Deb Crunican’s colourful and upbeat children’s book is an important contribution to the serious topic of the prevention of tick-borne diseases. By reaching a younger population directly, as well as their parents and teachers with its key educational pointers, it is an excellent resource. Checking for ticks and preventing tick bites can become a necessary part of daily self-care. The addition of tick-bite related resources for adults is an appreciated inclusion in this book as well. Well done!"

"In a light-hearted manner, Teegan and the Teeny Tiny Tick teaches kids an important lesson about ticks. Ticks conduct host-seeking activities whenever the temperatures are above zero, and there is no snow cover. The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, harbours and transmits at least six different tick-borne zoonotic pathogens that cause human diseases. Kudos to Deb Crunican."
