Stop That Virus!

Fans of the robots from Netflix's Ask the StoryBots can meet them again in this Step into Reading book. Beep, Boop, and their robot friends set out to find out what a virus is and how a person ends up with a cold. The subject of illness is handled in a light, cheerful way that keeps young listeners curious without frightening them.

This Step 2 reader is written for children around four to six years old. The vocabulary is basic and the sentences are short, so the stories move along simply, and it suits children who already recognize many words and are learning to sound out new ones with a bit of help.
