Germs Are Not for Sharing

Sneezes, coughs, runny noses, spills, and messes are facts of everyday life with children. And that#x19;s why it#x19;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#x19;s so important to cover them up, block them from spreading, and wash them down the drain. Simple words complement warm, inviting, full-color illustrations that show real-life situations kids can relate to. A special section for adults includes ideas for discussion and activities.
