Handy Catch Phrases

Both this and Tails Are Not For Pulling offer nice pictures, easy text for toddlers, and handy catch phrases which parents can use to remind kids of what they should and shouldn't be doing. This title makes hand washing fun and shows kids to cough into their elbows. Great idea!

Excellent book

This book is great, we are buying one by one from this collection and my 4 1/2 years old love it. It's unbeliavable how kids pick up things from books. He didn't want to wash his hands very often and the book works great for that matter.I recommend the whole collection.

Wow! It's great.

I bought this book for my 2 1/2 year old and it quickly became his favorite book. Now when it's time to wash his hands he tells me! He is always telling me "Germs are not for sharing." He also asks me for a tissue when he needs one and has stopped eating food that has hit the floor. I think the charm of this book is the fact that it uses words like Achoo, Cough, Gurgle, Flush -- that I can say in a way that really gets his attention. 2 Thumbs up!

Great book on preventing Germ Transmission

Simple and to the point. Great book for the very young child on what to do when you sneeze, blow your nose, etc. It isn't a book about "just washing hands", it covers more than washing hands and opens up the opportunity to discuss when and where we find germs. Wonderful illustrations - bright and colorful.
