WASH YOUR HANDS! (Little Princess Books) (Little Princess Books) Review
User Submitted WASH YOUR HANDS! (Little Princess Books) (Little Princess Books) ReviewsAugust 10, 2008 Urgy picture book It only has few pages and the pictures are very urgy for children and parents. I don't understand the story at all. May 19, 2008 Good facts This is a fun, good and helpful book in teaching the facts of why you should wash hands. November 4, 2006 Very helpful I'm a nursing student and bought this to teach handwashing to day care and preschool students. Actually, I bought 3 different books and this was the only one "simple" enough for that age group to appreciate. The others went into viruses versus bacteria and were better for much older groups. I've used it 3 times for teaching groups and each time the children are engrossed in the story while at the same time learn about good hygiene. I especially like that it teaches germs are present even if you can't see them - something hard for little ones to get. Even though it centers around a "Princess" who has to wash her hands, the male children were just as interested in the story. October 7, 2005 Perfect for little prince and princesses I used this book to teach proper handwashing to a group of 4 & 5 year olds . Its was very helpful and I highly recommend it. Perfect for preschoolers. August 4, 2001 Relevant for toddlers My 2 1/2-year-old grandson loves this book. He likes the illustrations and the simple wording. He asked me to read it over several times. I appreciated the message because he is told to wash his hands after he goes potty, after he pets the cat and after he comes in from outdoors--and of course, before eating. I think he liked this book because he could see that the princess had to wash her hands throughout the day just as he does! I received my copy of this great book in the mail today, and my kinderkids are going to love it! It's the story of a little princess who is constantly being told "Wash your hands!" The princess is playing outside in the mud ("The little princess LOVED getting dirty!") and comes inside to eat a piece of cake. Her mother, the Queen, stops her and says "Wash your hands before you eat that." "Why?" asks the little princess. "Because you've been playing outside." The little princess dutifully washes her hands, then stops to dance with the dog and cat on the way to the kitchen. Next the cook tells her to wash her hands, and of course the little princess asks why. This is repeated several times, with delightful illustrations, to remind the little princess (and all the children who will hear and enjoy this story) that she needs to wash her hands after playing with animals, using her potty, playing outside, and sneezing. A humorous discussion of "germs and nasties" follows, and the little princess learns that if she doesn't wash her hands, the germs and nasties "can get into your food, and then into your tummy ... and then they make you ill." Like Tony Ross' other books ("I Want My Potty" and "I Want to Be"), this one will be a big hit with my students while sharing an important message in a way they'll enjoy and remember.
