This book explains how germs are everywhere and lets kids know that germs are very small and can't be seen. It also teaches them what to do if they need to sneeze and how to wash their hands. Along with teaching kids how to wash their hands, this book also lists the ten good times to wash their hands.

This book is so adorable. I liked the illustrations--they aren't overly adorned or complicated. They're just right for this age group. The kids look happy, which further shows the association between good health and a positive disposition. Kids can easily grasp the concept. The lessons in this book are priceless, especially during this time. It is educational without bombarding a kid with too much information. (
