This book is a narrative about a kid who learns about germs. His mom and dad keep asking him to wash his hands so that he doesn’t get sick like his dad. He questions and questions and his teacher also teaches about germs. This is a great book to introduce to kids to talk with them about washing their hands. Especially now, with the virus going around. In the book the teacher does a lesson that involves students having dirt on their hands and not being able to get it off unless they wash their hands. I would integrate this into my classroom as well. I also like the experiment where you put pepper in water on a plate and have students put their finger in a little bit of soap so you can see the “germs” run away from the soap. This is a great way to help kids understand the importance of washing their hands. ( )
