Do You Know the Happy Handshake?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Who knew that it was possible to writing an interesting AND entertainment book for kids about hand hygiene?!? This book is great for kids of all ages (and may not be a bad read for some adults as well :). It's one thing for a mom to tell her kids to wash their hands...but it's a message kids will hear loud and clear when it comes from Thumbs Up Johnnie and his friend Jimmy Jam Germ!
I put this under the old book, this is 1000 times better

My boys love this book. I normally have to ask them "did you wash your hands" several times a day. Now...I don't ask. They love the happy handshake and Jimmy Jam Germ. I can't wait for Ms. Bain to write more books. The art is so colorful and my boys practice drawing Johnnie, even the 3 year old. They love me reading this to them. I love the names like Bubba Biscuit.

This book is amazing. I couldn't help but fall in love with Jimmy Jam Germ. Before reading the book, I thought JJG was going to be some kind of mean, bad villain. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I couldn't stop talking about JJG after finishing the book. My friends don't understand why I am obsessed with a germ. However, I have talked to other people who have read this book series. Other people have told me that JJG is also their favorite character. Therefore, I am not alone in my love for JJG. If you are out there listening, JJG you ROCK!
This book "cleans up"!

This is a humorous and delightful lesson in hygiene (not at all like what I encountered as a kid) and is fun, "to boot"! I have to hand it to Michelle Bain, my daughter adores this and....wonder of wonders......asks more often to wash her hands.

I had heard about this book from a friend of mine who lives in Missouri, who is a school nurse. My children's school contacted the author and she came to our school with mascots and party favors for the kids. After reading her book Johnnie Finds A Buddy, she read this book to the kids and they went wild. She taught them the "CLEAN HAND JIVE"- her song about washing your hands. At their school they teach the importance of washing your hands and even have a unit in science and their health classes about this topic. Most of the children do not find the topic of hand hygeine very interesting. To see the reaction of the kids after Michelle Bain read the book to the children my kids school we were pleasantly suprised. Finally, an author came up with a "spin" on hand hygeine that was funny and impactful at the same time. I hope that this writer tackles many of these subjects in the future!
