This lift-the-flap type book from Usborne House is a good one to introduce in light of the newly declared pandemic of Corona virus (COVID-19) and what we need to teach our young children on how to protect themselves by having practicing good hygiene.
We found this book particularly useful for us to use as a visual tool to teach them about germs and ultimately why washing hands is important if they don’t want to get sick.
The information is presented in a very interesting way where there is some interaction for your kids to lift a flap to see more as they move along throughout the book. I found this very clever as it incite the children’s curiosity to find out more
