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. A special section for adults includes ideas for discussion and activities.

“Germs Are Not For Sharing by Elizabeth Verdick is a great book for preschoolers through early elementary children. The book’s language is easy enough to understand, yet doesn’t talk down to the kids or sound babyish.”—Andrea Coventry, Montessori Educator, Andi’s Kids Books Blog

My daughter loves this book. After reading this to her a few times, she wanted me to wash her hands when they were dirty right away.

I used this book in a preschool health unit and it was perfect. Very simple explanations in a short and sweet package. I will definitely use this book again and again.

The book is good, though for my sons (ages 7 and 5), I had wished there would be a little more explanation of the science or a pictorial showing of exactly how germs are spread. Instead, it's more of a "be clean because of germs" superficial lesson. The book is good-- I had just hoped for a bit more.

Is not in color!
This books is misleading, the pictures are not in color, they are black and white so is not very interesting for kids. Not worth the price at all.
