Achoo! Cough! F-L-U-S-H! What to do? In childcare, in preschool, at home, and everywhere, toddlers need to learn that germs are not for sharing.

Teaches importance of washing hands/social distancing

17 April 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I bought this book to read to my 3.5 year old to help explain why it's important to wash your hands and keep your distance from others during this COVID-19 pandemic. He loves it and is great about washing his hands now. It doesn't dwell on the scary parts of germs, just that there are simple things you can do to prevent getting sick.

Germs live for more than 2 hours.......

6 October 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The book gives false information. I wanted to love this book so badly. We have almost every other book in the series, mostly in board book form. Love them. While they're not the best of the books, they're still 5 stars. Not this one. Thankfully my kids can't read or I'd have sent it back. The only reason I haven't is because of how hyped they were for it to come.

First off, is coughing into your chest/ shoulder. Kids should be taught properly. Why even suggest something they've not thought about. They wouldn't be able to successfully accomplish the correct way to do this- MOST adults don't even do this the right way. Yes, if your hands are full it's better than nothing but maybe mention that?

The one that upset me the most... "and we can live there for up to 2 hours." Yes. Some germs probably die off within 2 hours. But not all of them. So saying up to, is false and misleading. It just didn't even need said. Kids remember stuff. Giving them false information is how we end up with problems like anti-intellectualism.

I saw someone complain in another review about the 5 second rule of dropping the food on the floor wasn't in the book. That's because it doesn't exist. That's not how germs work. They don't say count down and then plunge off of an item like they're walking the plank.

Wonderful Board Books - Clear Messages

22 October 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This series is great for younger kids or kids that may need some reminders about basic conduct/manners/hygiene. The message is clear and direct, the colors are great, and the words are repetitive enough that they make for wonderful early readers as well. Our autistic son needs these reminders to help him navigate life in public school and he loves these books. These are board books, so they hold up well to the love they will surely receive. This is a personal favorite because hand-washing was not top priority until the kiddos learned about germs.

This could help to explain why we do things we do like wash hands or not eating food on the floor

28 March 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I wanted a book to teach my son about germs he can't see which can cause him or others to become sick. This could help to explain why we do things we do like wash hands or not eating food on the floor. This worked great and the first night he wanted to read it 5 times.

Important lesson for toddlers

6 December 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book is great. Even though it is hard for toddlers to understand germs because they don't see them, just the fact that they see images of kids washing hands and get to repeat "germs are not for sharing" gives them a mantra that creates a healthy routine. My daughter started washing hands better after having this book. Toddlers like to learn and apply rules, even when they seem reluctant at first. Little by little, I started explaining that people get sick due to germs. On one occasion, she didn't want to wash her hands and I reminded her that if she got sick, the other kids at school could get sick too, and mommy as well. So she went straight back to the sink and washed them. She proudly shows me her clean hands and asks me to "smell check" them. It is adorable. I can always say "germs are not for sharing" and she knows what I mean now.
