WARNING! Wash your hands before reading this post...

Hello boys and girls!

Today, Norman and I want to remind you about how important it is to properly wash your hands. Washing your hands with soap is one of the best ways to keep healthy and germ free.

Norman came up with an easy three-step hand washing process he would like to share with you:

STEP 1: Use Soap

STEP 2: Scrub your paws/hands with soap while singing the alphabet song
STEP 3: Rinse and dry your paws/hands!

Check out this very special "Hand washing with Norman" video to see exactly how it's done!

All this talk about hand washing has me thinking about one of our favourite furry storybook characters who knows all about staying safe and germ-free in his tree, do you know who I'm thinking about?
Here's a hint - he's scared of green martians, germs, and killer bees...

it's our friend Scaredy Squirrel!
