Snifflemonstersnuffles - or how to tickle a Coronavirus The teeny tiny snifflemonster Snuffles is terribly bored and decides to visit humans. It is especially fascinated by noses and decides to get comfortable in Ms Sniff's nose. But it doesn't take long for one snifflemonster to turn into eleventeen thousand snifflemonsters, and Ms Sniff's nose is way too crowded. The snifflemonsters go on a journey and travel on objects and from human to human to noses, until all the people are at home in bed with terrible snifflemonstersnuffles. Only Shelly Snort is clever and outsmarts Snuffles. Background: The Coronavirus has a grip on the entire world at the moment. For children it is especially hard to understand why something, which can neither be heard nor seen, has turned everything upside down: parents aren't at work, siblings aren't in school and the nursery, the playground and the sports clubs are closed. This storybook for children aged three to six explains in a funny, fearless story, how germs and viruses such as the coronavirus spread from human to human, and how even the youngest among us can protect themselves against it.
