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 (Ages 4-7) (Best Behavior Series)

“Addresses an increasingly important subject in children’s health. This book should be in every pediatrician’s and family physician’s waiting room and at every childcare center, preschool, and early elementary school.”

“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
“Hits the bull’s-eye with an important message to all children. Wonderfully illustrated. Bravo! Well done!”

From the Author
This expanded paperback version of the Germs Are Not for Sharing set is for older kids (ages 4-7) than the board book for toddlers. It contains germs basics, including what they are, where they live, how your body fights them, and more. The board book is a friendly primer on washing hands, covering your mouth when you cough, using tissues, etc. As a set, both books emphasize the importance of good health habits for children. - Elizabeth Verdick

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.
