This book is the first in a proposed series being developed by Joseph J. Talarico Sr., owner of My Children Enterprises, who intends to create a library of educational health-oriented children’s books. The idea started while watching a television news alert about a disease that was spreading rapidly due to unsanitary conditions. The thought that in most cases simply washing their hands could have prevented such an outbreak from occurring made me decide that we should start teaching the children, and the parents may learn something also. The illustrations are eye-catching and are more funny than they are scary. But most importantly, they teach the necessity of the simple task of washing your hands to prevent germs!
