This book is the first in a proposed series being developed by Joseph J. Talarico Sr., owner of My Children Enterprises, who intends to create a library of educational health-oriented children's books. The idea started while watching a television news alert about a disease that was spreading rapidly due to unsanitary conditions. The thought that in most cases simply washing their hands could have prevented such an outbreak from occurring made me decide that we should start teaching the children, and the parents may learn something also. The illustrations are eye-catching and are more funny than they are scary. But most importantly, they teach the necessity of the simple task of washing your hands to prevent germs!

By placing their warm hands on the thermochromic patches, the multiplying germs are revealed. The simple, bright and bold illustrations by Charlie Evans allow children to develop an understanding of science and health from a young age, while having fun in the process

An award-winning author/illustrator team offers a fresh look at the times and transitions all toddlers face daily, giving young children the tools to handle routines with confidence and cooperation. Being dropped off at childcare or cared for by a baby-sitter means saying good-bye to Mom or Dad—and for many toddlers, bye-bye is a big deal. This gentle book helps ease the transition with simple rituals: hugs and kisses, a big wave, a deep breath, and the confidence to seek comfort with the new caregiver or other children. Toddlers learn that good-bye isn’t forever, it’s just for a while. Part of the Toddler Tools series, Bye-Bye Time can be shared before (or during) the desired “time,” or whenever toddlers need encouragement with routines. Includes tips for parents and caregivers.
