4 "Doctor Big Dog"
Author: [English] Babe Cole Text/Photo
Publisher: Beijing United Publishing Company
Translator: Wang Lin
The entry point of this story is very clever - to see the symptoms from the child's point of view, but also to let the child see himself in these diseases.
Not only does it bring joy to children, but it also helps them develop good habits. Eat thumbs, eat more stomach bloats, hair lice, go out on rainy days without wearing a raincoat... These behaviors are not uncommon in children's daily lives, but some adults are like Gan Dad and Gan Mama in the story, always posing as disapproving. Sometimes if adults forcibly intervene, it is easy to cause negative emotions in children.
5 "Bacteria are not meant to be shared"

Publisher: Guizhou Education Press
Translator: Chen Weiwei
This story is suitable for children dressed up in kindergarten, and it is also suitable for doing the enlightenment book of social etiquette.
Why can't bacteria not be shared? Because bacteria can make us sick, how can we not share them with good friends? Cover your mouth and nose before sneezing, wash your hands in time, because bacteria will have many ways to spread, there will be many places to breed bacteria, so children need to wash their hands frequently and wash their hands clean.
There are many more picture books about hygiene, and today I am only a part of the recommended picture books. Reading through the situation may be better than parents' blind preaching, and playing with children while reading not only strengthens parent-child interaction, but also can remember more deeply.
However, it should be noted that picture books are not medicines. It's not that the child has any problems, and then looking at the picture book can change the problem, and you need to help the child develop habits more continuously.
