Book Synopsis

Baby play, baby play, all day, hooray!

Suddenly—aachoo! Sneeze, cough, boo-hoo!

Shiver, rashy, fever, squirm, oh no—Sherm the Germ!

Baby’s perfect day of play is interrupted by an unwelcome, microbial visitor—Sherm the Germ. Written by a pediatrician and brought to life through playful illustrations, this fun, rhyming book describes the stages of becoming sick and then getting better. A perfect read-aloud for those wishing to get well soon or any budding physician, this board book uses a loveable character to teach readers on the basics of what it means to catch a cold or virus and how the healing process works.



Trade Review
"These books work on so many levels, with poetry to hear, pictures to talk about, and a powerful message. They give children just the sort of delightful and mind-expanding experiences they need, while leading parents to see the child's world through a creative and joyful lens. Wonderful medicine for an overly electronic age!" -- Dr Robert Needlman, MD, associate professor of pediatrics, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and cofounder, Reach Out and Read, on the Baby Unplugged series
"These are the kinds of books that will bring you and your child together over and over again as you snuggle and read -- colorful, welcome additions to your bookshelf." -- Shari Schmidt, OMB (Oh My Books) ChicagoNow blog, on the Baby Unplugged series
"Bright, creative and perfect for young readers just getting introduced to books. Babies and toddlers will love these books as well as the others in the series." -- SocialCafé Magazine, on the Baby Unplugged series
