When Zombie catches a sniffly, snuffly virus, he doesn't want to give it to his friends. But it's hard to cover his coughs and sneezes when his body parts keep falling off! Can Worm help Zombie figure out how to hold it together and stop spreading the virus, too? Kids of all ages can enjoy this silly, slightly irreverent how-to on covering coughs and sneezes. Relevant during the Coronavirus/COVID 19 pandemic, but also any time a child has a cold or flu! First book in the series A Monster's Guide to Life...in a Pandemic.
