Description

About the Book

By not covering his mouth or washing his hands, Simon spreads his cold to his teacher and classmates, much to the delight of three germs named Virus, Protozoa, and Bacteria.

Book Synopsis

A sick little boy spreads his germs in this funny and witty board book about taking care of oneself and others when not feeling well.

Germs galore! Simon has a cold, but he's determined to not let that stop him...even if it means he sneezes everywhere and coughs on everyone.

Previously published as a picture book, this clever story looks at how germs spread and what kids can do to protect themselves and each other from getting sick.
