Hygiene.You Stink!

by Julia Cook, Anita DuFalla (Illustrator)

Overview

"The other silverware used to be pretty nice to me, and the people used to use me a lot.
Now, I'm practically out of a job because I never get used by the people, and the other silverware won't have much to do with me either."


Poor Jean the Fork... just can't figure out why things have changed for her. Why are the people not using her at meals? And why do the other forks, knives and spoons avoid her? When she asks the wise old can opener about it, he replies:

"Well, I hate to break it to you, my friend, Fork, but it appears you smell like last week's pork!"


In the fifth book in her award-winning Building Relationships series, author Julia Cook offers a hilarious approach to a very personal issue - good hygiene! Using silverware as the stars, Julia helps explain the importance of regular bathing, too brushing, and other hygiene-related issues.


Students, parents and educators will laugh and learn along with Fork as she discovers the importance of good personal hygiene and its impact on your relationships with others!

Tips are included in the storybook for parents and educators to help encourage kids to keep clean.

Editorial Reviews

This book is FABULOUS! Julia Cook hits on an issue that we have to deal with a lot at school. Hygiene is a very sensitive topic for kids and adults to deal with and this book handles it in a fun and easy way. Every school nurse, counselor, teacher, parent and child needs this book. A GREAT tool for a difficult topic!” - Twyla Kleen, RN, BBA, CRRN, CDDN 2014 School Nurse of the Year

"I like this story. It says what needs to be said without any stigma. Young dirty kids around here, but now doing better with personal hygiene" - Miriam H, Amazon

"AMAZING book. Both of my children HATE showering for a multitude of reasons but primarily due to sensory difficulties. We've used this book to help explain the importance of good hygiene, especially as they get older. I have an 8 and 10 year old who have both had b.o. (body odor) since kindergarten (STINKY!!!!) and this book helps explain the reasoning why good hygiene is important socially and emotionally as they get older as well. I highly recommend this book to all school-aged children; even tweens/pre-teens!" - Amy, Amazon
