Germs Are Not for Sharing Board Book cover

A Children’s Guide to Spreading Healthy Habits—Not Germs!

Sharing is caring—but not when germs are involved! Join the toddlers in Germs Are Not For Sharing as they learn what to do when a sniffle or a throat tickle is in their midst to prevent others from getting sick.

  • Promotes Healthy Habits: Using simple words and illustrations, this children’s book teaches children healthy habits that help protect themselves and others—like using a tissue and washing hands.
  • Supports Good Hygiene: Rather than focus on what germs are, this book teaches the basics of not spreading them: Cover up a sneeze or cough. Hug or blow kisses when you’re sick. And most importantly, keeping your hands clean!
  • Includes Helpful Tips for Parents & Caregivers: Additional suggestions and social emotional learning activties are included in the back of the book to promote healthy habits that keep germs from spreading.

Best Behavior® Series: Kids, parents, and educators love the award-winning book series that teaches children ages 1–4 important life skills in fun, relatable ways. From managing emotions to manners for kids, each book in the series uses simple words and relatable illustrations that encourage positive behaviors. Bilingual board books are available for select titles.
