Product Description
In the never-ending battle to keep children healthy, the most simple and basic messure can move mountains - teaching them the importance of hand-washing. Many of the germs that can cause disease and illness can be avoided and destroyed when children make a habit of washing their hands. In Those Mean Nasty Dirty Downright Disgusting but...Invisible Germs, five-year-old Rosa discovers the most disgusting germ on her hand while painting at school. Its the kind of germ that could give you an earache. Rosa encounters other equally disgusting germs at school but knows that, by washing her hands with lots of soap and water and by drying them well, she can help get rid of the germs that make her sick. Wonderful and colorful graphics and an easy to understand story, keep kids curious. A wonderful resource for children preschool to 8 years of age, Those Mean Nasty Dirty Downright Disgusting but...Invisible Germs is also bilingual in English and Spanish.

I bought this book for working with children in elementary school about handwashing. The book is good, but it is in black and white and it needs some color, so just be sure you have some other props.
 germs are real... kids need to learn about them,... this is a great way to learn July 27, 2008

My 2 year old's favorite book! July 16, 2008

The "germ book" is the one my toddler asks for over and over again the most. It's a fun book, with lots of opportunities for fun voices and hand gesturing. And guess what? Now she likes to wash her hands! And please rest assured: your kid won't become an obsessive-compulsive germophobe after looking at this book. The author's goal is NOT to scare kids into washing their hands every 10 minutes, but simply to get them to wash up before eating. Watch for the germs to go "swirling, whirling down the drain" with your child, and she will look forward to keeping clean and have fun while doing it.
In all, it's a fun, educational book. The dialog is rythmic, repetitve, and memorable, which even a 2 year-old can appreciate.

Wow! Some people really don't like teaching kids to wash their hands. First of all, most parents or teachers know that no book is a stand-alone for any given topic. Of course more discussion is necessary. Secondly, anyone who has spent time in a room full of little kids can see that they touch every available surface, wipe their nose, and put their fingers in their mouths. Trying to keep them from getting the bug that everyone else has is practically impossible, but washing hands frequently does help. And realize, people do go to the hospital as a result of some of these bugs.
My children (4-1/2 years and 20 months) enjoyed this book. My preschooler liked the pattern and emotion of the story, and my toddler liked the photographs. I can't say it made them want to wash hands any more, but at least it introduced them to the idea that we need to wash the germs off. I must add that I didn't really like the idea of one germ, the worst germ, staying on the girl's hands after she washed them, but it didn't seem to bother my kids. I would have liked to have added in the story how soap helps the water wash the germs off, since my preschooler will rinse her hands with water but sometimes puts up a fight about soap.

As another reviewer suggests, this is a great book to get children to do what you want them to. Never mind that it entails lying to children, treating germs as vicious invaders who look like hammers and do things they don't in reality (for instance, causing headaches). Insulting and manipulative. It's books like this that cause people to become obsessive-compulsive.
