A Germs Journey

Looks at how germs can spread such diseases as the common cold by following the journey of the germs that fly out of a boy's mouth when he sneezes in class without using a tissue, showing how colds spread or not depending on hygiene practices.

This delightful board book follows the journey of a germ using unique heat-sensitive pages and combining interaction, play and learning, showing pre-schoolers the importance of clean hands.

By placing their warm hands on the thermochromic patches, the multiplying germs are revealed. The simple, bright and bold illustrations by Charlie Evans allow children to develop an understanding of science and health from a young age, while having fun in the process
