Book Review
How to Catch a Cold and How to Fight a Cold are delightfully humorous tales of a little boy's literal perception of common everyday terms.
In How to Catch a Cold a little boy wonders why so many of his classmates are missing from school. His imagination gets the best of him and he believes they are being held captive by an angry mole or were poisoned by a witch, but when he learns they have all "caught a cold" he sets out to do the same thing.
Due to the success of his previous mission in the first book, the little boy's saga continues when he finds himself sick in bed with instructions from his mom to "fight the cold." And so, in How to Fight a Cold, his new quest begins.
Told in rhyme, I found each of these stories to be cleverly written and highly entertaining. Young readers will get a kick out of the main character's creative cold finding and fighting outfits and his methods will make them laugh. I also, enjoyed the bold and detailed illustrations which add to the comical nature of each book. These books are sure to become some of your preschooler's favorites.
I highly recommend picking up How to Catch a Cold and How to Fight a Cold. Available on Amazon.
