Description

Health & Fitness. Juvenile Nonfiction. HTML: 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-color illustrations that show real-life situations kids can relate to. Read-along edition..

This book can help children understand what germs and teaches them that germs are not for sharing. It teaches children appropriate behaviors when they sneeze or cough. This book also discusses the importance of washing hands.

This board book walks kids through the situations which call for hand washing, and how to avoid passing germs to friends. The tone is pedantic, but may frighten children, since the exact nature of "germs" is never explained.

Marieka Heinlein's illustrations are cute and approachable, but the book

would not make for fun reading time with a toddler.

I would definitely use this book in my classroom to enforce hygiene and healthy behavior to prevent sickness. This book explains how germs can be shared and how to prevent spreading germs. It shows how to properly wash hands or sneeze. I think it would be great in a k-2 classroom (or even older). I

would have students act out ways to prevent sharing germs and teach them how to wash their hands properly.

Cute book on germs. Kids may enjoy the colors and illustrations. It is good to have kids aware of germs, but at the same time not over-do it so they are afraid of germs everywhere.

Review: "Germs Are Not for Sharing" teaches kids the appropriate and healthy response to ways that germs can be spread. It also highlights the negative effects of germs on our body and how we can avoid the spread of them.

Genre: Informational

Genre Critique: This book is an informational text

because it uses kid friendly language and images to portray to kids why the spreading of germs is unhealthy and how we can avoid spreading them.

This informational board book is fantastic for little ones with germ related issues. It explains the importance of washing hands to flush the germs away, coughing in your elbows to prevent the spread of germs and has an overarching message of the importance of keeping your germs to yourself!

In this season of germs I think it is very important to teach children what exactly germs are, how they spread, and how to avoid spreading them. I've already gotten the stomach flu once this year, so the sooner I could read this book and teach them what germs are, the better!
