Sneezes, coughs, runny noses, spills, and messes are facts of everyday life with children. And that's why it's never too soon to teach little ones about germs and ways to stay clean and healthy. This book is a short course for kids on what germs are, what they do, and why it's so important to cover them up, block them from spreading, and wash them down the drain. Simple words complement warm, inviting, full colour illustrations that show real-life situations kids can relate to. A special section includes tips and ideas for discussion and activities with parents and caregivers (pb edition only).
