    A Monsters Guide to Life … In a Pandemic: Teaching Hygiene Through Humor

    Written by Katie Lee Koz and Laurie Theurer

    Illustrated by Maria van Bruggen

    Ages 4-10 | 122 Pages

    Publisher : Cookie Press Books | ISBN-13 : 978-2970109495

    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.

      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 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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
