Those Mean Nasty Dirty Downright Disgusting but...Invisible Germs / Esos desagradables detestables sucios completamente asquerosos pero... invisibles ... y español) (English and Spanish Edition)

This book has been wildly successful in my Pre-K classroom. Not only do the children love the book, but it has increased the frequency and time the students are washing AND drying their hands. The part of the book about drying your hands carefully is my favorite part, as this is a task some of my students rush or try to skip altogether.

I purchased this to use in my "cover your cough" lesson for kindergarteners. My first impression was that the pictures were a bit boring. There are black/white photos of a girl playing with different toys in her classroom. When I read the book to the students, they actually loved the photos. They could relate to the girl. There are also colorful drawings of "germs," which they loved. Each page has English and Spanish. Good book to have to help kids understand germs and the need to wash hands.

I know the author personally, and have used her book with great success in getting kids to wash their hands more than they do. The pictures of germs are memorable and inspire the children to be mindful of the importance of hand washing,.

It's a great book for kids! They love it. It came on time and in perfect condition!

This was one of my favorite books to read and act out the characters with my preschool students. I now have grandkids of my own and love to read the story to them.

This book is our kid’s new favorite. There’s a fun chorus and easy lessons. The images and repetition helped him to better understand germs. Buy it!

Super nice book. Very useful in this environment, especially with Covid-19. My child loves it and it helps her understand the importance of hand washing. Thank you!

Absolutely great book for my preschool classroom! Helped in a simple yet understandable way to prevent germs from spreading. My kids ask for it to be read again!

Bought this book for a friends daughter. I have used it in the past working with young children and they seem to love it and it helps teach them in a fun way to wash their hands and keep Those Mean Nasty Dirty Downright Disgusting germs away.

Kids enjoyed this book. Great learning tool on information on germs

Great book. My 4 year old loves it. Great condition. Like new.

My 5 year old loves this book.

I first heard this story from my daughter's preschool teacher, and it stuck with ME so much that I had to get it when I got my own preschool class. It does a super job of making germs real and to be avoided. My preschoolers ask me to listen to the germs screaming as they go down the drain. They remember this story for a long time! Super investment to your library!

My preschool class loved this book. It's one of their favorites. And, it teached good hygiene.

I like the original version much better and will search for it later.

Awesome book! As a School Nurse Practitioner, I used it to teach hand-washing classes at my elementary school.

A staple in every preschool classroom! The children want to hear this over and over! The message is clear and fun. The best book to help during health and safety week. My 3 and 4 year olds always do a better job washing after we read this! I also use, Those Icky Sticky Smelly Cavity Causing but Invisible Germs to teach about proper brushing. I recommend both books for home and classroom!

She liked it

It is ok for younger kids to read. Not as good as A Germ's Journey but it is passible.

The product will be used in an educational setting.

The original version is so much better... I don't like it at all...

VERY LATE SHIPPING AND LOST PACKAGE

Very important for kids re: germs and it is a fun book as well. For home and school a great addition to your library

Great way to teach my 3 and 1 year old about germs! It got the point across VERY well, great buy.

I use this book with my preschoolers and it does such an excellent job portraying germs. The book is also in Spanish.

Perfect for teaching young children about the importance of hand washing!

good book about germs

Love this children's book series.

The children in my early childhood education facility adore this book. It fits into our healthy hygiene curriculum. The children have become more aware at practicing sanitation.

This book is an awesome tool to use with young children about the importance of washing hands. I use it in my preschool class and the kids really like it and then go about washing their hands with soap on a regular basis.

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.

The preschoolers loved it.

great book, kids stayed interested, It was fun to read to my group.. Im sure it will be a favorite!

I'm a child care nurse consultant - I teach health & safety in the child care setting. This is my favorite book to use when teaching hand washing to pre-school through 2nd grade. It's a story the reader can ham up a little and kids really get into it. Each book has the story in English & Spanish. Great illustrations of pretend germs.

This book is good as long as the teacher/parent uses it in the right context. Meaning, it has a scare tactic effect if you are not careful. OUTFOX recommends pairing this book with a hygiene lesson or infection control activity to show how these invisible germs can be dealt with responsibly. The last thing you want your child or students to become are over-aggressive cleaners. Use this book to teach responsibility and a positive outlook how we can get rid of the bad germs and keep the germs that are necessary. Using scare tactics are minimally effective so be careful when you use this book for your class or children! OUTFOX OUTFOXprevention.com
