This tradebook talks about the different ways of spreading germs. The bears go to school the first day, and everyone is sick. They are coughing, blowing their noses, and not covering their mouths. Eventually, the doctor comes in and teaches the students about germs, and how to prevent everyone from getting sick. I gave this story a three out of five stars. I think it is a good health lesson, but a lot of these prevention solutions children already know about. The illustrations look like they were done in colored pencils. The pictures are bright and vibrant, keeping the story interesting. I would use this in a classroom if I had a health unit on germs. Students could even make a poster board coloring different ways on how to prevent germs. ( )
