Stay healthy with sesame street is a fantastic book to help younger kids understand coronavirus without making it too scary. This is no surprise since sesame street is a beloved classic that knows how to thread tough subjects for a young audience. I love how the book presents questions (along with answers) that children must be wondering. They are also able to learn along with recognizable characters to help comfort them.
The folks at Sesame Street know a lot about kids and it shows. This book will be welcomed by families that are trying to figure out the best ways to talk to their young children about the virus. It is simple, matter of fact, includes lots of basic information, offers suggestions of activities and ways to keep healthy and more. All this, with photos of real adults and kids and those lovable Sesame Street characters. Highly recommended for its intended audience.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed this book, as did my kids. It was relevant and engaging. Well done! You can’t ever go wrong with Sesame Street!
A great book explaining the Corona virus and COVID-19 pandemic to kids. It is informative and not scary and presented in the typical fantastic Sesame Street fashion.
As I was reading through this book, the sad fact hit me that there are children in preschool now who can’t remember a time pre-COVID-19. A wide range of ages can gain something from the information, with a glossary in the back going more in-depth for elementary students. Overall, this is an excellent resource to answer questions and sooth the fears of little ones by using familiar faces. Highly recommended.
This was a good book to read through to explain to a child what exactly the Corona virus is. My son is only a year and a half old but I was able to get an advanced readers copy of this book from netgalley.com so we still read through it together. There is even a glossary in the back to identify words that an elementary school aged child might not understand.
I think this book did a great job of explaining Coronavirus to young children. It also did a great job of showing kids what they can do to stay healthy. One of my favorite parts of the book was showing kids how wearing a mask helps keep others safe, and also giving them some activities that they can do at home, because I find that to be the hardest part for children.
The Sesame Street characters that we all know and love teach children how to stay healthy, especially during the coronavirus. The book explains the virus in simple, easy to understand language while using real photographs of people and children.
I read this book to my 6 year old son and it sparked a good conversation about the effects of coronavirus and how we can stay safe and healthy. I liked how the book gives the reader ideas of how to keep busy at home, what to do if you get sick and discussion questions that can be used in my (virtual) classroom.
I would recommend to parents and teachers as a read aloud and/or health lesson. Thank you to NetGalley for an early digital copy of this children’s book.
Sesame Street explains staying safe from the coronavirus in simple, kid friendly terms. This book is colorful and calming despite its subject matter, and I like how it intersperses coronavirus information with more general well-being ideas. All the favorite Sesame Street characters have a turn to share ideas about staying healthy and happy, and they ask young readers to brainstorm as well,
