Editorial Reviews

“Teaches good health habits when sneezing or coughing, because germs are not for sharing! Kids also learn 10 good times to wash their hands, one for each finger. Large, black outlined, brightly colored illustrations decorate each page.”—Midwest Book Review

“These books, which are available in both board book and picture book editions, serve as wonderful tools to help children embark on their road to socialization—a very important component of the preschool experience.”—Mamiverse.com

From the Publisher

PreS—Each page gives a tip in English and in Spanish on how to deal with germs-for instance, what to do when a child has a cough, has a runny nose, uses the bathroom, etc. The page that shows children washing their hands also features musical notes along with the text to suggest the singing of a hand-washing song. The colorful spreads are appealing and support the information in the text. The figures and furniture are outlined with bold black ink and filled in with bright colors. The characters are of different ethnicities and are easy for children to relate to. A "Tips for Parents and Caregivers" is appended. A valuable resource for public, school, and home libraries.—Cindy Moreno, San Antonio Public Library, TX
