When it comes to illustrations, this book tops the list.

Now that's what I call the perfect cent per cent the best picture storybook manual ever to educate kids about proper etiquette on hand washing and other such behavioural habits to follow especially during this pandemic.

I mean wow. It was like watching an actual animated clip while reading this picture book!

Love you with all my heart, author and the illustrator, for giving your all to make this amazing book the best!

This is simply one of the best reads of the year. Forget books for children.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. This was so adorable!!! It had excellent lessons about keeping safe and it was aimed to be about the pandemic/covid without ever mentioning it by name. The illustrations were super cute too.

I thought that this book was excellent!

The story is well written and it has a good flow to it and it is really relevant today with a focus on the current virus and how we need to keep each other safe with out actually naming it - my daughter is three and she doesn't know the name of the virus and she really enjoyed this one.

She already understands we have to wear masks and wash our hands to keep safe and well so this worked really well with her and I think other children her age would love it too - it gets over the points without adding science and scaring.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - brilliant, eye catching illustrations and a great story too!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

I have read a lot of books geared towards children on washing hands, wearing masks, and social distancing. This is by far the best book about germs that I have seen to address the need for proper hygiene during the pandemic. Children are in charge of teaching their dragons to wash hands properly, wear a mask, and keep their distance. I really appreciate how this book speaks to the feelings that children have when they have to stay away from their friends. Definitely a book to help children understand why we do what we do during the pandemic.

I really enjoyed this book. I read it to my year 1 class and it really helped them to understand the new normal around covid. My class are now very proud of the bubbles they create while washing their hands and they each count to 20 and enjoy washing their bugs away. Great book!

This was precious! You'll learn all about how to keep yourself (and your dragon) healthy and safe in our current world. I love how this helps teach kids healthy habits, gets a little silly to engage kids, and also addresses how you shouldn't be worried - just do your best to stay safe. Overall this was a win!

This book was ADORABLE. Such a fun way to enforce health safety and mask wearing, especially in a time when we need it most. The art was awesome, and the dragons were so cute! I really loved this book, everyone with kids should read it to their kids!

I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own

What a fantastic book for our current climate. My four year old loved this and we read it 3 times at bed before I told him it was seriously time to go to bed. It had him giggling while have a discussion about why we need to be so cautious about spreading gems.
Fantastic

I thought this was an intriguing way of talking about germs and how to keep your friends safe when you’re sick. While the cover shows the boy and dragon wearing masks, that is not the only point to the book, it can be used anytime when talking about hygiene or staying safe from germs. Some of the ways the book brings up is washing your hands, not touching your face, wearing a mask, keeping hands to self, not getting to close. I also enjoyed how the book included rhymes.

I really loved the pictures in this story. The dragons are super cute.

I think this would be a great book for teachers when talking about germs in general or when the flu starts to run through the school. Super cute book!

This is so adorable and I loved it. So, I received an arc and am so thankful. This is so informative to children, especially in how to protect themselves and preventing the spread of an illness, such as Covid-19. I think the whole use of dragons was perfect in making this book fun and appealing to children while informing them of how to stay safe and how to prevent others from getting sick as well. Overall, 5/5 stars on this adorable read.

Listen, you might not expect this entry to a review of a children's picture book, but I am currently reading background info about the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, also known as Game of Thrones, and in consequence want a dragon sooo bad.
This book scratches that itch.

It's all about how to prevent your dragon from spreading their germs to other people, how to properly wash claws and wear a mask and keep your distance so we all can go back to normal as soon as possible.

I like a) the dragons, b) that it's cute and c) that it's informative without giving a lecture. It speaks to the reader as a peer, and that is not something a lot of adults do when talking to children. I remember hating it a lot when people adressed me as children.

This book is an interesting way to teach young children how to reduce spreading their germs.

'Do not let your dragon spread germs' is a type of guide book on how the children shouldn't let their dragons spread their germs and to stay healthy. It tells them how to wash their hands and to wear masks amongst other tips.

This is a great way to encourage a child to take care of themselves as well as others around them, especially during this current situation.

Just like several children's books, this is too written rhymes, and the illustrations are so nice, colorful, and bright.

I highly recommend this to anyone who has young children and/or kindergarten teachers. It is surely a fun way to teach the children to be more aware of how to prevent themselves from getting sick as well as not spreading any germs.

A charming and wonderful book about teaching kinds to stay clean and not spread germs... but with dinosaurs too! This is such an important book for kids, especially during the pandemic we are in. It is important to learn lessons on cleanliness and not spreading germs. This is a wonderful and fun way to introduce those concepts to kids, especially when told with dinosaurs!
