Picture Book 22


Title: Germs Are Not for Sharing       
Author: Elizabeth Verdick
Illustrator: Marieka Heinlen
Genre: Information
Subgenre: Children’s Picture Book
Themes: Hygiene, Germs, Sanitation Guidelines
Primary Characters: Children
Date of publication: 2006

Summary: This book provides information about germs but at a level that would be easy to grasp for younger children. There is also a section in the back of the book for older a child that goes into further detail about what germs really are.

In the classroom: I would use this book in the classroom to explain about germs and the importance of hygiene. I like this book because the pictures are very story-telling. The pictures show the correct way to sneeze, cough and wash your hands, which children should learn at a young age.
