Publisher’s Synopsis: Four fun stories that teach hygiene through humor!
This book combines the well-loved original stories into one monstrous volume.
Story #1: Zombie Covers his Coughs
When Zombie catches a sniffly, snuffly virus, he doesn’t want to give it to his friends. But it’s hard to cover his coughs and sneezes when his body parts keep falling off! Can Worm help Zombie figure out how to hold it together and stop spreading the virus, too?
Story #2: Witch Washes her Hands
A virus is in Monstertown and Witch wants to find the right spell to make it go away for good. But it’s tricky to make a virus vanish! Luckily, Witch’s friend Cat knows the best magic to use…and it’s not magic at all! Say a spell, learn a song…and use soap.
Story #3: Werewolf Howls at Home
When a virus arrives in Monstertown, everyone must stay inside. But Werewolf longs to run free and howl under the moonlight with his pack. He’s never been so frustrated or bored. How can a pack animal like him be happy howling at home?
Story #4: Mummy Wears a Mask
A virus arrives in Monstertown and Mayor Mummy tells everyone they should wear masks. But the other monsters aren’t so sure they want to. Will Mummy be able to convince them?
A Monster’s Guide to Life…in a Pandemic answers these questions, and others, in a monstrously fun way. A book to help children understand all the different ways to vanquish a virus.

Mummy Wears a Mask, of course!
I think the grandsons will go for Zombie Cover His Cough. What a great book to have during this Pandemic. My grandsons would love this. Thank you for the chance.
These books are so perfect for my 2 daughters and husband, who is a germaphobe! I think he would enjoy Witch Washes Her Hands the most. My kids would appreciate all the books.
I would love to win this set for my sons. We are missing our trips to the library.
I always share with the children’s specialist at my local library because of their lack of funds to add to their collection. All the titles are clever and appealing, but I would choose Werewolf Howls at Home!
Wonderful for my grandchildren to enjoy. Werewolf Howls at Home sounds fun as do all of these delightful books.
Mummy Wears A Mask. This is so important for everyone right now.
Mummy Wears A Mask
As a Preschool teacher I know how much kids love monsters! So to add monsters to an informative text is genius. I can quickly see these books becoming a classroom favorite.
They all sound so fun and information but Mummy Wears A Mask would be my first choice as it’s so important for everyone to do so right now.
my great niece is 4 and this book would be good for her
I would love to win these for my grandkids . They all sound great but Werewolf Howls at Home is the one that caught my eye. look at my email address .
I want to win this because there are children in the family who are the right age for these books. The title that sounds the most fun is Zombie Covers His Cough. They all sound really entertaining and a great way to explain the pandemic to young kids.
I love the idea of these books – teaching good practices using humor! They all sound great, but Mummy wears a mask especially!
It’s been difficult trying to explain all the pandemic and how to keep healthy to the kids. These books would be a great help. I like Werewolf Howls at Home.
Would love to add this to our library!
Every one of these books sound like an excellent read for my grandchildren. The youngest is always singing “Wash your hands” while washing her hands. The others either wear a face mask or now always remember to cover their mouth whe sneezing or coughing.
This looks super cute.
witch washes Her Hands could be a real tongue twister and good practice for reading out loud.
My four grandkids could learn a lot from this handy book! Perfect topic right now! Thanks for the chance to win!
I work in healthcare and would love to share these books with my coworkers. No matter the age, people just don’t get how important this issue is.
Zombie Covers His Cough is the book I’d most like. It was relevant before and after the pandemic
Zombie Covers His Coughs is so cute my kids would love reading it
Witch washes her hands,,and my grandchildren would love reading this
Witch Washes Her Hands sounds good and fun!
All of the books sound like fun and I would love to read any of them with my grandchildren.
