Curious George Discovers Germs

Reach for this book when your child is feeling under the weather, resistant to washing their hands, or curious about the invisible world of germs. It provides a gentle, non-threatening way to explain why rest and hygiene are important during the cold and flu season. The story follows George as he dreams of a microscopic world, making the abstract concept of bacteria and viruses concrete for young minds. By framing illness through George's trademark curiosity rather than fear, the book helps normalize the experience of being sick. It is developmentally perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to understand cause and effect regarding their health. Parents will appreciate how it transforms a potentially scary doctor visit or a boring day in bed into a scientific adventure, fostering a sense of resilience and personal responsibility for self-care.
