Bye-Bye Germs

Jess and her brother Joe were playing with their toys when Jess felt a tickle in her throat. The little tickle turned into a bigger tickle. And the bigger tickle turned into a giant cough and sneeze! Can they stop the germs from spreading? Join them on their journey and learn how to become a handwashing superhero!

Bye-Bye Germs includes fact boxes to inform both children and parents/carers of the science behind the story. De Montfort University's Dr. Katie Laird (microbiologist) and Professor Sarah Younie (educationalist) have teamed up with author/illustrator Jules Marriner and put together a brand new entertaining, educational book to help keep everyone safe, including:

Top tips for parents on how to prevent spreading viruses at home.
A picture guide on how to wash your hands properly.
A 'Spot the Germs' illustration to help children identify where viruses can be contracted.

Bye-Bye Germs is part of a 'A Germ's Journey' series. More activities and information can be found on www.germsjourney.com.
