Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
An easy to understand explanation of what germs are and how some of them make us sick. The explanation of how easy it is to transmit germs through sneezing, shared straws, and open cuts and scrapes may open some young eyes. The various symptoms of diseases and how the body fights them are easy to understand, as are the eight rules for good health. A Reading Rainbow Book. 1995 (orig.
School Library Journal
K-Gr 3This easy-to-read revision of a 1985 title effectively describes the differences between bacteria and viruses and gives other related germy facts. The science is related in simple language and the author uses specific examples that youngsters will readily understand. He explains how germs sometimes "slip in" the body despite defense mechanisms such as skin, nose, and throat. "Your friend has a cold. She sneezes. Germs fly out. You breathe the air. Some of her germs may get into your lungs." Hafner's pen-and-ink and watercolor artwork is attractive and informative, reinforcing the concepts introduced in the text. An interesting addition for libraries not having the previous edition.Lisa Marie Gangemi, Sousa Elementary School, Port Washington, NY

    Very Informative

    I love this book, because it clearly communicates to young children, thorough colourful illustrations and simple language, how germs make us sick. This book really helped to prepare my son for his immunization.

    Cleanliness

    This is a great book for kids to learn how not to put dirty things in their mouths, wash their hands, etc. My child read this and is much more careful than before.

    This book takes me back !!

    I remember when I was young, maybe about 4 or 5 years old and my mother brought me this book. It was one of my favorite books. I read it almost everyday. They don't make books like these anymore !!!
