Germs vs. Soap by Didi Dragon

Weekly Trip to the Library

Despite telling children to wash their hands over and over again since the pandemic started I’m still having trouble getting one of the kids I babysit to wash his hands every time he enters the home. I have to hover over him because he often turns on the water and doesn’t use soap until I nag him. That’s why I’m thrilled to have found Germs vs. Soap as a fun way to explain to the little guy why he needs to wash his hands with soap.

Germs vs. Soap shows children the secret world of germs and how much germs absolutely, positively do NOT like soap. In fact, these germs will do anything to trick kids into not washing their hands with soap because it’s the one thing standing between them and their beloved energy cupcakes. And all they want is to gobble up all the energy cupcakes humans have to offer and then spread to eat some more. But only if soap doesn’t get in the way. Otherwise, it’s all down the drain for them.

Children need to learn proper hand hygiene, but it does matter how you tell them. Did you jumpstart their imagination? A quirky book like Germs vs. Soap sticks with kids. The story becomes real, right there in the palm of their hands, the moment they step in front of the sink and pump some soap. Germs, beware!
