The Book
Oh boy, a jab is not fab, an injection can be frightening even though it is administered quickly and skillfully. Maxine knows all of that so she works with her stuffies to get them vaccinated because she is aware that it's very important to keep them all safe from that dreaded monster called COVID!
She encourages her beloved pets to take the shot and she stands by them to comfort and tell them everything will be safer and better when they are inoculated.
This relevant book arrives in time for kids to discover and understand why getting the vaccine, or any paediatric shot is so important. Kids will have many fears and questions about doing so. Sharing this book with young ones will open up meaningful dialogue to talk about the experience. These discussions together will greatly ease their apprehensions and worries.
Brave Maxine, at precisely three o'clock in the afternoon, takes her daddy's hand and off they go around the block to receive her own vaccine. She courageously faces her fears and exclaims:
" It was a cinch,
a super fast pinch!
Then without any jitters
She went home to critters..."
..." all together they celebrate their victory with snacks - a well deserved treat for getting their vax!" Hurray!!!!
The illustrations are bold, bright and detailed. This reassuring book would be a wonderful addition to a classroom as well as a school library. "Maxine's Critters Get the Vaccine Jitters" is a sweet, rhyming, heartfelt story, that is sure to ease the nervousness around getting that dreaded jab! I highly recommend this book.
