My Cold Went On Vacation: 03/02/15

cover art

My Cold Went On Vacation by Molly Rausch takes a look at the way colds spread from a very different sort of point of view. A boy catches a cold at school and while in bed, he spends his time thinking about all the places the cold will go after it's done visiting.

My daughter checked it out at a time when it seemed she and her friends (and the parents, of course) were sharing the same cold over and over again. She thought the idea of a cold getting tired of being stuck in the same neighborhood and wanting a vacation was hilarious.

Nora Krug's illustrations have a good gross out factor to add to the humor of this tale of the traveling germs. Lots of greens and blues and silly cartoony drawings.

Three stars
