Hello I’m Jane Chisholm and I’m the Editor of this children's flap book: What are germs?
Germs are everywhere, but our bodies are very good at fighting them – in fact some bacteria are extremely useful.
By learning where germs live and how they behave, we can also learn how to prevent them from spreading.
Washing our hands often and using a tissue to trap coughs and sneezes are some of the main ways we can protect ourselves.
I hope this book will help you understand more about germs and what we can all do to stay healthy.
