When we curate picture books for Story Time, we're looking for three things: fantastic illustrations, a strong and entertaining narrative, and the *perfect* amount of text per page to keep two to four year olds riveted into their seats. These books meet that criteria, and were used for our "Blech! Germs" Story Time along with the craft "Plague Fighters!" from the STAR_net activity clearinghouse (http://clearinghouse.starnetlibraries...) and the "Blow Painting" craft from Raising Sparks (http://raisingsparks.com/craft-activi...).
