Sherm the Germ
“Baby play, baby play, all day: hooray! Suddenly—aachoo! Sneeze! Cough! Boo-hoo!”
Baby's perfect day of play is interrupted by an unwelcome, microbial visitor—the diabolical, yet somehow lovable, Sherm the Germ! Written by pediatrician and health literacy expert Dr. John Hutton, and brought to life through playful (if contagious) illustrations, this fun, rhyming book describes the stages of becoming sick and then all-better. A perfect read-aloud for get well soon, budding physician/scientists, or any time at all!
